Relevance Logic

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Handbook of Philosophical Logic ((HALO,volume 6))

Abstract

The title of this piece is not ‘A Survey of Relevance Logic’. Such a project was impossible in the mid 1980s when the first version of this article was published, due to the development of the field and even the space limitations of the Handbook. The situation is if anything, more difficult now. For example Anderson and Belnap and Dunn’s two volume [1975; 1992] work Entailment: The Logic of Relevance and Necessity, runs to over 1200 pages, and is their summary of just some of the work done by them and their coworkers up to about the late 1980s. Further, the comprehensive bibliography (prepared by R. G. Wolf) contains over 3000 entries in work on relevance logic and related fields.
