Description:
Robert Ackermann’s Introduction to Many-Valued Logics is a foundational text in modern logic, presenting one of the first comprehensive overviews of logics beyond the traditional two-valued (true/false) system. Part of the Monographs in Modern Logic series, this work examines non-classical logical systems—including Łukasiewicz’s logic—and explores their implications for mathematics, philosophy, and the philosophy of science.
Balancing accessibility and rigor, Ackermann provides both technical exposition and broader reflections on the significance of many-valued logics, making the book valuable for philosophers, logicians, and advanced students of mathematical logic.
This volume represents an important step in the mid-20th-century expansion of logical theory, bridging classical logic with alternative systems that continue to influence research in computer science, linguistics, and philosophy.
Notable: First edition (1967), part of the Monographs in Modern Logic series edited by Geoffrey Keene. A scarce and collectible volume for historians of logic and philosophy.
