hardcover. Etat : Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.

Quine) is "a new formal semantics, one that completely dispenses with models and employs instead truth-value assignments, truth-value functions, and the like" (p. VII). -- Hugues Leblanc's Truth-Value Semantics is a rigorous, groundbreaking monograph that reshaped the way philosophers and logicians approach non-classical systems of logic. Written during a period of intense scrutiny of formal semantics and the foundations of mathematics, the book develops a bold alternative to model-theoretic semantics: one that defines the meaning of logical constants and expressions entirely in terms of the truth-values they preserve. While standard Tarskian semantics builds on structures with domains and assignments, Leblanc's system rejects reliance on ontological commitments to domains of objects, offering instead a purely syntactic and truth-functional foundation for interpreting logical systems. Across its chapters, the book systematically constructs a semantic framework in which logical constants are defined extensionally via preservation of designated values in matrices. This allows for the development of non-classical logics - such as three-valued and many-valued systems - without the machinery of traditional model theory. Leblanc demonstrates how his semantics can accommodate classical logic, intuitionistic logic, relevance logic, and other systems of inference by carefully adjusting the truth tables and designated values within a given matrix. Crucially, he shows that this approach yields completeness theorems that are philosophically illuminating and formally elegant. In rejecting domain-based interpretations, Leblanc contributes to long-standing debates about the realism and anti-realism of formal systems, sidestepping metaphysical debates about quantification and reference. His approach makes room for logics that accommodate semantic paradoxes, vague predicates, or contexts where referential assumptions are indeterminate or unnecessary. Truth-Value Semantics is essential reading for philosophers of logic, mathematical logicians, and theoreticians concerned with the semantic underpinnings of formal systems. It stands in dialog with works by Alfred Tarski, Nuel Belnap, and later Susan Haack, but distinguishes itself by offering a unified and radically minimalist framework for logic that retains deductive power without ontological baggage. For academic libraries looking to strengthen their holdings in formal logic, philosophy of language, or foundations of mathematics, this book is not only relevant - it is foundational. -- Contents: Preface; Part One: Classical First-Order Logic: 1.
