Download or read book Facing the Future written by Nuel D. Belnap and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2001 with total page 518 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this elucidating work, the authors attempt to construct a logical analysis of human actions, focusing on those actions based on choice. Using their examination of "seeing to it that," they investigate a large number of topics, including imperatives, deontic logic, strategies, determinism, and promising assertion. One of the work's provocative conclusions is that one, actual future does not exist; instead, all possible futures are on par with one another.
