Modal logic, an extension of classical logic, investigates the modes of truth such as necessity and possibility. Its development has been closely intertwined with advances in proof theory, a field ...

A new formalism for predicate logic is introduced, with a non-standard method of binding variables, which allows a compositional formalization of certain anaphoric constructions, including 'donkey ...

The backbone of this seminar will be first-order predicate logic. We presuppose that participants in the seminar have a basic knowledge of symbolic logic.

Outline of topics Ever since modern symbolic logic was consolidated (in the mid 1900s), the standard format for an introductory logic class has been to learn the classical predicate calculus in three ...
