Meaning and proscription in formal logicvariations on the propositional logic of William T. Parry /[electronic resource] :by Thomas Macaulay Ferguson. - Cham :Springer International Publishing :2017. - xiii, 198 p. :ill., digital ;24 cm. - Trends in logic, studia logica library,v.491572-6126 ;. - Trends in logic, studia logica library ;v.45..

Introduction: The Proscriptive Principle -- Nonsense and Proscription* -- Metaphysical Considerations on State Space Semantics -- A Computational Interpretation of Conceptivism* -- Faulty Belnap Computers and Subsystems of Efde* -- Cut-Down Operations on Multilattices* -- Correia Semantics Revisited* -- Concluding Remarks.

This book aids in the rehabilitation of the wrongfully deprecated work of William Parry, and is the only full-length investigation into Parry-type propositional logics. A central tenet of the monograph is that the sheer diversity of the contexts in which the mereological analogy emerges - its effervescence with respect to fields ranging from metaphysics to computer programming - provides compelling evidence that the study of logics of analytic implication can be instrumental in identifying connections between topics that would otherwise remain hidden. More concretely, the book identifies and discusses a host of cases in which analytic implication can play an important role in revealing distinct problems to be facets of a larger, cross-disciplinary problem. It introduces an element of constancy and cohesion that has previously been absent in a regrettably fractured field, shoring up those who are sympathetic to the worth of mereological analogy. Moreover, it generates new interest in the field by illustrating a wide range of interesting features present in such logics - and highlighting these features to appeal to researchers in many fields.
