The motivations behind this extension are thoroughly explored, revealing that crucial notions such as logical answerhood and dependency emerge as facets of the fundamental notion of entailment when logic is extended to questions. Consequently, these notions can be treated using the tools commonly employed by logicians, including model-theoretic constructions and proof systems.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAfter motivating the enterprise, the book delves into the process of making classical propositional and predicate logic inquisitive, or extending it conservatively with questions. It outlines the resulting logics in terms of their meta-theoretic properties and proof systems. Furthermore, the book explores the close connections between inquisitive logic and dependence logic, highlighting their interdependence and mutual enrichment.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBy broadening the horizons of logic to include questions, this book offers a fresh perspective on the field, enabling researchers to address a broader range of cognitive phenomena and develop more comprehensive theories of reasoning. It serves as a valuable resource for scholars and students interested in advancing the study of logic and its applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 448g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 155 x 235 x 18 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9783031097089\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eEdition number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1st ed. 2022\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ivano Ciardelli","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44222313496826,"sku":"9783031097089","price":29.14,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/noImage_1_c0d627a0-fc97-4b68-8fec-d04004ce67f5.jpg?v=1683611521","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/inquisitive-logic-consequence-and-inference-in-the-realm-of-questions-9783031097089","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
