Sinopsis

The present monograph is a slightly revised version of my Habilitations­ schrift Proof-theoretic Aspects of Intensional and Non-Classical Logics, successfully defended at Leipzig University, November 1997. It collects work on proof systems for modal and constructive logics I have done over the last few years. The main concern is display logic, a certain refinement of Gentzen’s sequent calculus developed by Nuel D. Belnap. This book is far from offering a comprehensive presentation of generalized sequent systems for modal logics broadly conceived. The proof-theory of non-classical logics is a rapidly developing field, and even the generalizations of the ordinary notion of sequent listed in Chapter 1 can hardly be presented in great detail within a single volume. In addition to further investigating the various approaches toward generalized Gentzen systems, it is important to compare them and to discuss their relative advantages and disadvantages. An initial attempt at bringing together work on different kinds of proof systems for modal logics has been made in [188]. Another step in the same direction is [196]. Since Chapter 1 contains introductory considerations and, moreover, every remaining chapter begins with some surveying or summarizing remarks, in this preface I shall only emphasize a relation to philosophy that is important to me, register the sources of papers that have entered this book in some form or another, and acknowledge advice and support.

Reseña del editor

This is the first comprehensive introduction to Display Logic in the context of generalized Gentzen calculi. After reviewing several standard and non-standard sequent-style proof systems for modal logics, the author carefully motivates and develops Display Logic, an important refinement of Gentzen's sequent calculus devised by N. Belnap.
A general strong cut-elimination theorem is proved that covers a large class of display sequent calculi. Moreover, a proof-theoretic semantics of the modal operators is developed. Proof-theoretic characterizations are also obtained for the logical operations of systems associated with Tarskian structured consequence relations. These systems include constructive logics with strong negation.
Using the embedding of intuitionistic logic in S4, display calculi are presented for certain subintuitionistic logics that may be used as monotonic base systems for semantics-based non-monotonic reasoning. Eventually, a first-order display calculus is defined. Its modal extension is general enough to avoid the provability of both the Barcan formula and its converse.
