Formalizing Medieval Logical Theories: Suppositio, Consequentiae and Obligationes

by Catarina Dutilh Novaes

This book presents formalizations of three important medieval logical supposition, consequence and obligations. These are based on innovative vantage supposition theories as algorithmic hermeneutics, theories of consequence analyzed with tools borrowed from model-theory and two-dimensional semantics, and obligations as logical games. The analysis of medieval logic is relevant for the modern philosopher and logician. This is the first book to render medieval logical theories accessible to the modern philosopher.
