Janusz Czelakowski on Logical Consequence

This book is dedicated to the life and work of logician Janusz Czelakowski on the topic of logical consequence. It consists of three parts a biography, a survey and research sections. The volume begins with an autobiographic chapter by Janusz Czelakowski followed by a historical chapter written by Jacek Malinowski. The survey section forms the backbone of the volume with each chapter covering one of Janusz Czelakowski's results. They focus on his results in the area of logical consequence, demonstrate how his results influenced following research, and presents potential future results, problems and applications. This volume is of interest to logicians and mathematicians.

Offers a survey of logical consequence Presents groundbreaking ideas on algebraic logic Includes papers on quantum logic and logic of action
