Abstract
The ten essays in this collection cover a wide range of topics. Their temporal span is also quite remarkable. Klima’s essay, for instance, concerns medieval notions of reference, while Gumb’s has to do with verification procedures in contemporary computer programming. The breadth of concerns in this volume, along with other (not entirely unforeseen) developments — for example the use of free logics by mechanistic mathematicians and computer scientists as foundations for partial functions — testifies to the expanding interest in free logic, and, of course, is extremely gratifying. Moreover, the novel character of the contributions contained herein supports the aptness of the title New Essays in Free Logic.
