Conditionals: From Philosophy to Computer Science - Hardcover

by G. Crocco (Editor), L. Fariñas del Cerro (Editor), A. Herzig (Editor)

This book looks at the ways in which conditionals, an integral part of philosophy and logic, can be of practical use in computer programming. It analyzes the different types of conditionals, including their applications and potential problems. Other topics include defeasible logics, the Ramsey test, and a unified view of consequence relation and belief revision. Its implications will be of interest to researchers in logic, philosophy, and computer science, particularly artificial intelligence.
