Summary

In this chapter, the semantical framework of Chapter 7 is fine-tuned in order to provide a semantics for Anderson and Belnap’s logic E of relevant entailment. It is shown how a form of logical necessity can be represented in the semantics, and this is used to motivate the postulates that are needed to characterize that logic. A labelled deduction system (introduced in Chapter 7) is also used to show how to derive the axioms of E easily.
