Delete	First-Order Modal Logic [Buy it!]	Richard L. Mendelsohn	USD 274.42 (Sun Jun 2 00:30:19 2024)	AbebooksDE	AHA-BUCH GmbH	ISBN10: 0792353358, ISBN13: 9780792353355, [publisher: Springer Netherlands] Softcover Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Fitting and Mendelsohn present a thorough treatment of first-order modal logic, together with some propositional background. They adopt throughout a threefold approach. Semantically, they use possible world models; the formal proof machinery is tableaus; and full philosophical discussions are provided of the way that technical developments bear on well-known philosophical problems. The book covers quantification itself, including the difference between actualist and possibilist quantifiers; equality, leading to a treatment of Frege's morning star/evening star puzzle; the notion of existence and the logical problems surrounding it; non-rigid constants and function symbols; predicate abstraction, which abstracts a predicate from a formula, in effect providing a scoping function for constants and function symbols, leading to a clarification of ambiguous readings at the heart of several philosophical problems; the distinction between nonexistence and nondesignation; and definite descriptions, borrowing from both Fregean and Russellian paradigms.
