As a theologian his personal life was marked by piety and Lutheran orthodoxy. His anatomical manual Institutiones well arranged and handy but without illustrations was reprinted five times. It became still more famous when his son Thomas brought out an enlarged and illustrated edition."DSB. </em> hardcover
195946888No place The Association for Symbolic Logic 1959. 8vo. Wrappers blank with printed title on spine. Entire issue No. 1 of vol. 24 offered. Fine and clean. <br/><br/><em>The seminal first printing of Kripke's debut article which provided the basis for his logic and for the model theory for modal logic in general. The work constitutes the very beginning of Kripke Semantics often called possible world semantics. Kripke's works in general are rare in fist editions. Many of them remain unpublished and are only known in privately circulated manuscripts.The American philosopher Saul A. Kripke born 1940 is an exceedingly important logician and philosopher of language and one of the most powerful and influential thinkers of analytic and Anglo-American philosophy. He is considered the greatest living philosopher and perhaps the greatest since Wittgenstein. In 2001 he was awarded the Schock Prize in Logic and Philosophy which is considered the philosopical equivalent of the Nobel Prize.Kripke who grew up in Omaha in a religious Jewish family was somewhat of a prodigy child. During grammar school he got intimately acquainted with and mastered to perfection algebra geometry and calculus and very early on he took up philosophy which later became his career. Still a teenager in high school he wrote a work that was to change the face of philosophical logic forever namely the groundbreaking paper "A Completeness Theorem for Modal Logic" which was printed a few years later in 1959 in the Journal of Symbolic Logic while he was in his first year at Harvard University. This seminal debut work proposed what later came to be known as Kripke models for modal logic. The story goes that the paper earned a letter from the department of mathematics urging Kripke to apply for a job there to which he is said to have written an answer explaining "My mother said that I should finish high school and go to college first."In 1962 he graduated from Harvard University where he remained until 1968 first as a member of the Harvard Society of Fellows and then as a lecturer. During these years he developed the logical theories founded in the "Completeness Theorem" further and made seminal contributions to the field of logic and semantics. Kripke Semantics is a formal semantics for non-classical logic systems that Kripke began developing in his teenage years first published something on in 1959 the present work and further developed in the 60'ies and. The development of Kripke Semantics was no less than a breakthrough in the making of non-classical logics of which no model theory existed before Kripke's. With this work Kripke laid the foundation for proving completeness theorems for modal logic and for identifying the weakest normal modal logic which is now named K after him. </em> unknown

From the rear cover: "This long-awaited book replaces Hughes and Cresswell's two classic studies of modal logic: AN INTRODUCTION TO MODAL LOGIC and A COMPANION TO MODAL LOGIC. A NEW INTRODUCTION TO MODAL LOGIC is an entirely new work completely re-written by the authors. They have incorporated all the new developments that have taken place since 1968 in both modal propositional logic and modal predicate logic without sacrificing the clarity of exposition and approachability that were essential features of their earlier works. The book takes readers from the most basic systems of modal propositional logic right up to systems of modal predicate with identity. It covers both technical developments such as completeness and incompleteness and finite and infinite models and their philosophical applications especially in the area of modal predicate logic.".

From Introduction: "In the course of this study I shall expound and criticize the theories and methods of Logical Positivism in an order of presentation which seems best suited to represent them with utmost fairness. I shall present the logical foundation of Positivism first. Then the applications of the method of analysis to mathematics and natural science will follow. Next I shall treat of the elimination of metaphysics and the consequence of this. All of this will be preparatory to the consideration of a specific case of positivistic analysis which presents a theory of knowledge free from metaphysics. This is the LOGISCHER AUFBAU DER WELT of Rudolf Carnap. Then I shall present the doctrine of Physicalism as a separate philosophical system. The study will be concluded by a theory of language which seems to me to overcome the difficulties of both Logical Positivism and Radical Physicalism." . First Edition. Hardcover.
