Philosophical logic refers to those areas of philosophy in which recognized methods of logic have traditionally been used to solve or advance the discussion of philosophical problems.[1] Sybil Wolfram highlights the study of argument , meaning , and truth ,[2] Colin McGinn presents identity , existence , predication , necessity and truth as the main topics of his book on the subject.[3]
Philosophical logic also addresses extensions and alternatives to traditional, "classical" logic known as "non-classical" logics . These receive more attention in texts such as John P. Burgess 's Philosophical Logic ,[4] Blackwell Companion to Philosophical Logic ,[5] Handbook of Philosophical Logic [6] Dov M. Gabbay and Franz Guenthner .
