The Situation in Logic
Situation Theory and situation semantics are recent approaches to language and information, approaches first formulated by Jon Barwise and John Perry in Situations and Attitudes (1983). The present volume collects some of Barwise's papers written since then, those directly concerned with relations among logic, situation theory, and situation semantics. Several papers appear here for the first time.
Situations and Attitudes
In this provocative book, Barwise and Perry tackle the slippery subject of meaning, a subject that has long vexed linguists, language philosophers, and logicians.
Language, Proof, and Logic
Rev. ed. of: Language, proof, and logic / Jon Barwise & John Etchemendy.
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.
Handbook of Mathematical Logic
The handbook is divided into four parts: model theory, set theory, recursion theory and proof theory. Each of the four parts begins with a short guide to the chapters that follow. Each chapter is written for non-specialists in the field in question. Mathematicians will find that this book provides them with a unique opportunity to apprise themselves of developments in areas other than their own.
Admissible Sets and Structures
This volume makes the basic facts about admissible sets accessible to logic students and specialists alike.
Language, Proof and Logic
Covers first-order language in method appropriate for first and second courses in logic. CD-ROM consists of a new book, 3 programs,and an Internet-based grading service.

Vicious Circles
Circular analyses of philosophical, linguistic, or computational phenomena have been attacked on the assumption that they conflict with mathematical rigour. Barwise and Moss have undertaken to prove this assumption false. This volume is concerned with extending the modelling capabilities of set theory to provide a uniform treatment of circular phenomena. As a means of guiding the reader through the concrete examples of the theory, the authors have included many exercises and solutions: these exercises range in difficulty and ultimately stimulate the reader to come up with new results. Vicious Circles is intended for use by researchers who want to use hypersets; although some experience in mathematics is necessary, the book is accessible to people with widely differing backgrounds and interests.
Information Flow
Information is a central topic in computer science, cognitive science and philosophy. In spite of its importance in the 'information age', there is no consensus on what information is, what makes it possible, and what it means for one medium to carry information about another. Drawing on ideas from mathematics, computer science and philosophy, this book addresses the definition and place of information in society. The authors, observing that information flow is possible only within a connected distribution system, provide a mathematically rigorous, philosophically sound foundation for a science of information. They illustrate their theory by applying it to a wide range of phenomena, from file transfer to DNA, from quantum mechanics to speech act theory.
