O rodzajach logik temporalnych
On Kinds of Temporal Logics

Summary/Abstract: The article is devoted to the problems of different kinds of logics defined as “temporal” (Temporal Logic). At present the term “temporal logic” is used to denote several mutually independent logical systems containing different specific temporal operators and being used in many different branches of knowledge. The aim of the article is to organize this issue. Parts I, II and III of the article discuss temporal logics that may be used in natural sciences (mainly physics and cosmology): tense logic, also called logic of temporal clauses, logic of time (containing time variable) and von Wright’s systems of temporal logic. In Part IV, the last part of the article, temporal systems are presented that make use of the concept of time in computer programs. Non-standard approaches have been omitted.
