The motivations for this extension are examined in detail.

He has worked on the logic of questions, the informational take on logic, and on the logic and semantics of conditionals, epistemic modals, and imperatives. He has published on these topics in Synthese, the \u003ci\u003eJournal of Philosophical Logic\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eLinguistics and Philosophy\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eLogic and Logical Philosophy, and Natural Language Semantics\u003c\/i\u003e. He was among the initiators of the research program on inquisitive semantics, and co-authored the inquisitive semantics textbook for Oxford University Press. He is group leader of a DFG Emmy Noether project based at the Munich Center for Mathematical Philosophy of LMU Munich, and an associate editor at the Journal of Philosophical Logic.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 272\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.62 x 9.21 x 6.14 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 02, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42719322374207,"sku":"9783031097089","price":97.18,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/8c44ea346c57f6c82bed8b68ab631467_8c109e9a-cbae-47d6-af43-409a626043ad.webp?v=1765085209","url":"https:\/\/dhlswag.com\/products\/inquisitive-logic-consequence-and-inference-in-the-realm-of-questions-paperback","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
