Papers in Honor of John Barwise

Jon Barwise (1942-2000) was a noted scholar of mathematical logic and philosophy who served on the faculties of Yale University, the University of Wisconsin, Stanford University (where he was cofounder and the first director of the Center for the Study of Language and Information), and Indiana University. This collection honors Barwise's legacy to the academy with current contributions inspired by his diverse fields of interest, from infinitiary logic to natural language, situation semantics, circular claims, and non-well-founded set theory.

Lawrence S. Moss is professor of mathematics; director of the Program in Pure and Applied Logic; an adjunct professor of computer science, informatics, linguistics, and philosophy; and a member of the Programs in Cognitive Science and Computational Linguistics, all at Indiana University, Bloomington. With Jon Barwise, he is coauthor of Vicious Circles, also published by CSLI Publications.
