Description for Truth and Falsehood
Hardback. Here is a thoroughly elaborated logical theory of generalized truth-values, presenting the idea of a trilattice of truth values - a specific algebraic structure with information ordering and two distinct logical orderings, one for truth and another for falsity. Series: Trends in Logic. Num Pages: 250 pages, 10 black & white tables, biography. BIC Classification: HPL; PBC; UMX. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 234 x 156 x 15. Weight in Grams: 545.
The book presents a thoroughly elaborated logical theory of generalized truth-values understood as subsets of some established set of (basic) truth values. After elucidating the importance of the very notion of a truth value in logic and philosophy, we examine some possible ways of generalizing this notion. The useful four-valued logic of first-degree entailment by Nuel Belnap and the notion of a bilattice (a lattice of truth values with two ordering relations) constitute the basis for further generalizations. By doing so we elaborate the idea of a multilattice, and most notably, a trilattice of truth values – a specific algebraic ... Read more

Reviews for Truth and Falsehood
This book is an exceptional contribution to philosophical logic; no one who thinks about truth values should miss it. Taking Truth and Falsehood as objects in Frege's way, the authors serve up a compelling combination of (1) authoritative, encyclopedic, and philosophically sensitive history, (2) a careful and persuasive presentation of their beautiful and super-useful theory of sixteen (not just algebraic ...
