These subjects are becoming more and more useful in agent theory and intelligent and reactive databases. Finally, ?fteen years after the start of the Handbook project, I would like to take this opportunity to put forward my current views about logic in computer science, computational linguistics and arti?cial intelligence. In the early 1980s the perception of the role of logic in computer science was that of a speci?cation and reasoning tool and that of a basis for possibly neat computer languages. The computer scientist was manipulating data structures and the use of logic was one of his options.

Notes

Authoritative in the area of philosophical logic, presenting comprehensive coverage of key areas of logicOf particular interest to those in the field of artificial intelligence and common sense agent reasoningFocuses on causality, conditionals and, to a lesser extent, quantifiers and language
