Beschreibung
Provides both the relevant technical background and an overview of the key applications of neighborhood semantics in modal logic Introduces the main techniques for reasoning about neighborhood structures with a modal language Highlights the most convincing applications of neighborhood semantics for modal logic Includes applications such as coalitional logic, game logic, dynamic logics of belief and evidence, subset space logic, and first-order extensions Explains the precise relationship between neighborhood models and relational models, topological models, plausibility models, and (two-sorted) first-order logic
Autorenporträt
Eric Pacuit is an Assistant Professor of Philosophy at the University of Maryland, USA. Before coming to Maryland, Eric worked at Stanford University, USA; at the Institute for Logic, Language and Computation at the University of Amsterdam, Netherlands; and at the Tilburg Institute for Logic and Philosophy of Science at Tilburg University, Netherlands. His research primarily addresses issues in interactive epistemology and group decision-making - two interdisciplinary areas that make use of ideas and techniques from logic (especially modal logic), philosophy, game theory and social choice theory. His research has been generously supported by a grant from the National Science Foundation and a VIDI grant from the NWO (the Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research).
