(Princeton Foundations of Contemporary Philosophy). This book is a clear & concise critical survey of nonclassical logics of philosophical interest written by one of the world's leading authorities on the subject. After giving an overview of classical logic, Burgess introduces five central branches of nonclassical logic (temporal, modal, conditional, relevantistic, & intuitionistic), focusing on the sometimes problematic relationship between formal apparatus & intuitive motivation.
