J. Peregrin: Logika a logiky
(Logic and logics. The system of classical propositional logic, its extensions and alternatives),
 Academia, Praha

In this book I present an overview of formal systems of propositional calculi, I discuss their properties and I deal with the question of their sense and their applicability. I discuss especially the systems of intuitionistic logic, many-valued logics, relevance logics and modal logics and I focus especially on the so-called Kripekan semantics based on the concept of possible world. I present also a certain generalitaion of the concept of propositional calculus and its semantics.

P. Materna: Conceptual Systems,
Logos, Berlin

Notions of concept and conceptual system are explicated from the viewpoint of transparent intensional logic. This viewpoint is realistic, hostile to anti-realistic and relativist tendencies in some works of post-analytic philosophy. The logical analysis is inspired by the typed lambda-calculus.
