This coming Wednesday, June 10 at 4pm CET, we will have, at the Logica Universalis Webinar, the presentation of the book Modal Logic in Europe (1930-1959) edited by Max Cresswell and Jacques Riche
Speaker: Jacques Riche Abstract: This book explores the birth of modern modal logic, which offers a precise formalism for encoding the concepts of possibility and necessity within the fundamental logical formalism and for using them in conjunction with the preexisting set of logical operators. The editors of this volume have translated six foundational articles from the original German and French, three of which have never appeared in English before, and have provided a meticulous commentary on the texts, aiding the reader in understanding the theory. Furthermore, they introduce each article with a contextualization of the authors’ lives and works, further enriching the collection. The original articles are by Oskar Becker, Mordchaj Wajsberg, Robert Feys, Arnould Bayart, and include the reproduction of an extract from Clarence I.Lewis’s A Survey of Symbolic Logic. https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-032-23475-9 Max Cresswell died before the release of the book: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Max_Cresswell Edwin Mares, Professor at Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand, former president of the Australasian Association of Logic, will start the session by talking about Cresswell and the development of logic in New Zealand.
