An Introduction to the Philosophy of Logic

An Introduction to the Philosophy of Logic
Philosophy of logic is a fundamental part of philosophical study, and one which is increasingly recognized as being immensely important in relation to many issues in metaphysics, metametaphysics, epistemology, philosophy of mathematics, and philosophy of language...

This will be a major new resource for students working on logic, as well as for readers seeking a better understanding of philosophy of logic in its wider context.
  • Presents up-to-date and accessible discussion of a foundational part of philosophical study, and of its importance for related subdisciplines
  • Provides an overview of the connections between topics including metaphysics of logic, logical pluralism, and the meaning of logical constants
  • Allows students to understand the relevance of philosophical issues without having to wade through complex technical jargon

Quasi-Hopf Algebras - A Categorical Approach 

Quasi-Hopf Algebras
 A Categorical Approach
This is the first book to be dedicated entirely to Drinfeld's quasi-Hopf algebras. Ideal for graduate students and researchers in mathematics and mathematical physics, this treatment is largely self-contained, taking the reader from the basics, with complete proofs, to much more advanced topics, with almost complete proofs...

More advanced readers will benefit from having recent research gathered in one place, with open questions to inspire their own research.
  • Introduces beginners to the basics of quasi-Hopf algebras, including categorical machinery necessary for their study
  • Contains open problems which give the reader inspiration for future research
  • Brings together several advanced topics for the first time in one book
