    GENERAL PHILOSOPHY OF SCIENCE: FOCAL ISSUES: FOCAL ISSUES
    GABBAY, DOV M.
    Scientists use concepts and principles that are partly specific for their subject matter, but they also share part of them with colleagues working in different fields. Compare the biological notion of a 'natural kind' with the general notion of 'confirmation' of a hypothesis by certain evidence. Or compare the physical principle of the 'conservation of energy' and the general p...

    THE MANY VALUED AND NONMONOTONIC TURN IN LOGIC

    The present volume of the Handbook of the History of Logic brings together two of the most important developments in 20th century non-classical logic.

    Quantum mechanics is said to be the most successful physical theory ever. It is, in fact, unique in its success when applied to concrete physical problems. On the other hand, however, it raises profound conceptual problems that are equally unprecedented. Quantum logic, the topic of this volume, can be described as an attempt to cast light on the puzzle of quantum mechanics fr...
