Metamathematics of Fuzzy Logic

This book presents a systematic treatment of deductive aspects and structures of fuzzy logic understood as many valued logic sui generis. Some important systems of real-valued propositional and predicate calculus are defined and investigated. The aim is t

TRENDS IN LOGIC Studia Logica Library VOLUME 4 Managing Editor Ryszard Wojcicki, Institute ofPhilosophy and Sociology, Polish Academy ofSciences, Warsaw, Poland Editors Petr Hajek, Institute of Computer Sciences, Academy of Sciences ofthe Czech Republic, Prague, Czech Republic David Makinson, Ville d'Avray, France Daniele Mundici, Department ofComputer Sciences, University ofMilan, Italy Krister Segerberg, Department ofPhilosophy, Uppsala University, Uppsala, Sweden Alasdair Urquhart, Department ofPhilosophy, University ofToronto.

SCOPE OF THE SERIES Trends in Logic is a bookseries covering essentially the same area as the journal Studia Logica - that is, contemporary formal logic and its applications and relations to other disciplines. These include artificial intelligence, informatics, cognitive science, philosophy of science, and the philosophy of language. However, this list is not exhaustive, moreover, the range of applications, comparisons and sources of inspiration is open and evolves over time.

The titles published in this series are listed at the end ofthis volume.
