Abstract algebraic logic

From MaRDI portal





The classical method of associating a class of algebras with a logical system is that of Lindenbaum and Tarski. It can be applied to any system with a biconditional \(\leftrightarrow\) that is compositional in the sense that it defines a congruence relation on the absolutely free algebra of formulas. The method has been abstracted to provide effective criteria for the algebraizability of a large class of formal systems. One consequence of this work is a uniform method of providing a formal system with algebraic semantics. In this paper, the main features of the theory of abstract algebraic logic and one of its potential applications are surveyed. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0906.00024].
