Abstract
We define the category of quantales and their modules and prove the existence of coproducts, and the one of pushout and amalgamated coproducts under certain conditions. Then we define the non-full subcategory , of propositional deductive systems, show that it is equivalent to the one of ``real'' propositional logics whose morphisms are interpretations (modulo a language translation, when needed), and prove that the coproduct in is precisely the deductive system called ``logical coproduct'' in [Russo,2022]. Last, we discuss amalgamation in .
