Description:
Nicholas Rescher, a prolific philosopher and logician, explores the systematic foundations of imperative logic—the formal analysis of commands, obligations, and directives. Unlike traditional logic focused on propositions and truth-values, this work examines how logical structure applies to prescriptive statements, rules, and commands, making it an important contribution to the field of deontic and philosophical logic.
 
Part of the Monographs in Modern Logic series, edited by Geoffrey Keene, this volume provides an intermediate-level study accessible to both specialists and readers with a background in modern logic. Rescher’s work helped lay groundwork for the continued study of decision theory, normative systems, and applied logic in the second half of the 20th century.
