Die vorliegenden Beiträge sind für die Tagung " 75 Jahre Prädikatenlogik erster Stufe" im Herbst 2003 in Berlin geschrieben worden. Mit der Tagung wurde der 75. Jahrestag des Erscheinens von Hilberts und Ackermanns wegweisendem Werk " Grundzüge der theoretischen Logik" begangen. Im Ergebnis entstand ein Band, der eine Reflexion über die klassische Logik, eine Diskussion ihrer Grundlagen und Geschichte, ihrer vielfältigen Anwendungen, Erweiterungen und Alternativen enthält. Der Band enthalt Beiträge von Andréka, Avron, Ben-Yami, Brünnler, Englebretsen, Ewald, Guglielmi, Hajek, Hintikka, Hodges, Kracht, Lanzet, Madarasz, Nemeti, Odintsov, Robinson, Rossberg, Thielscher, Toke, Wansing, Willard, Wolenski The volume is the proceedings from the conference FOL75 - 75 Years of First-Order Logic held at Humboldt University, Berlin, Germany, September 18 - 21, 2003 on the occasion of the anniversary of the publication of Hilbert's and Ackermann's ``Grundzüge der theoretischen Logik''. The papers provide analyses of the historical conditions of shaping of FOL, they discuss several modern rivals to FOL and show the importance of FOL for interdisciplinary research. Although the celebrated book marks a most important step in the development of logic, the volume in hand proves the actuality of the question ``Which logic is the right logic.''

This book continues the author's doctoral thesis on epistemology and methodology, focusing on the AGM-axioms of belief revision. It explores the reliability of scientific methods and incorporates concepts from formal learning theory to address issues in modal logic and epistemology, though it largely diverges from formal learning theory itself.
