Autorinformation
Eric Pacuit is an Assistant Professor of Philosophy at the University of Maryland, USA. Before coming to Maryland, Eric worked at Stanford University, USA; at the Institute for Logic, Language and Computation at the University of Amsterdam, Netherlands; and at the Tilburg Institute for Logic and Philosophy of Science at Tilburg University, Netherlands. His research primarily addresses issues in interactive epistemology and group decision-making – two interdisciplinary areas that make use of ideas and techniques from logic (especially modal logic), philosophy, game theory and social choice theory. His research has been generously supported by a grant from the National Science Foundation and a VIDI grant from the NWO (the Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research).

Pressestimmen
“Neighbourhood frames offer an interpretation to systems of modal logic that generalises the more traditional relational frames. … Complemented with the numerous pointers to the literature that it provides, the book will be a valuable source of information and practice for PhD students.” (Éric Martin, zbMATH 1390.03001, 2018)“Reading and writing a review of this wonderful book has been a pleasure. Knowing the basics of propositional modal logic may explain why I enjoyed reading it. The author has gathered and surveyed many papers in writing this book. This is a must-read for those who want to do research on neighborhood semantics--after having acquired a basic knowledge of modal logic.” (Manoj K. Raut, Computing Reviews, February, 2019)
