This view of a logic is extremply powerful.
For example we can already define a property
of a logic. For example we could say a logic

L is consistent, if it doesn't explode, i.e.
if it doesn't prove anything, i.e. if there
exists a sentences with is not in the logic:

L consistent :<=> exists A (A e S & ~(A e L))

Or take page 18 of the BLACK BOOK by
Chagrov & Zakharyaschev, Modal Logic - 1997
https://global.oup.com/academic/product/modal-logic-9780198537793

L has disjunction property :<=>
    (A v B e L <=> A e L v B e L)

Theorem: Classical logic does not have disjunction property

Proof: Classical logic has LEM, i.e. p v ~p e L,
but it is neither the case p e L nor ~p e L.

Q.E.D.
