There is no 'correct' logic for natural languages [Shapiro]

13642
|
Logic is the ideal for learning new propositions on the basis of others [Shapiro]

Bernays (1918) formulated and proved the completeness of propositional logic [Shapiro]
|
13669

Can one develop set theory first, then derive numbers, or are numbers more basic? [Shapiro]
|
13667

Skolem and Gödel championed first-order, and Zermelo, Hilbert, and Bernays championed higher-order [Shapiro]
|
5. Theory of Logic / A. Overview of Logic / 5. First-Order Logic
13662
|
First-order logic was an afterthought in the development of modern logic [Shapiro]
|
13624
|
The 'triumph' of first-order logic may be related to logicism and the Hilbert programme, which failed [Shapiro]
|
13660

Maybe compactness, semantic effectiveness, and the Löwenheim-Skolem properties are desirable [Shapiro]
|
13673

First-order logic is Complete, and Compact, with the Löwenheim-Skolem Theorems [Shapiro]
|
5. Theory of Logic / A. Overview of Logic / 7. Second-Order Logic
15944
|
Second-order logic is better than set theory, since it only adds relations and operations, and nothing else [Shapiro, by Lavine]
|
13629
|
Broad standard semantics, or Henkin semantics with a subclass, or many-sorted first-order semantics? [Shapiro]
|
13650
|
Henkin semantics has separate variables ranging over the relations and over the functions [Shapiro]
|
10298
|
Some say that second-order logic is mathematics, not logic [Shapiro]
|
13645
|
In standard semantics for second-order logic, a single domain fixes the ranges for the variables [Shapiro]
|
13649
|
Completeness, Compactness and Löwenheim-Skolem fail in second-order standard semantics [Shapiro]
|
10299
|
If the aim of logic is to codify inferences, second-order logic is useless [Shapiro]
|
5. Theory of Logic / B. Logical Consequence / 1. Logical Consequence
10300
|
Logical consequence can be defined in terms of the logical terminology [Shapiro]
|
5. Theory of Logic / B. Logical Consequence / 2. Types of Consequence
10259
|
The two standard explanations of consequence are semantic (in models) and deductive [Shapiro]
|
5. Theory of Logic / B. Logical Consequence / 4. Semantic Consequence |=
13626
|
Semantic consequence is ineffective in second-order logic [Shapiro]
|
13637
|
If a logic is incomplete, its semantic consequence relation is not effective [Shapiro]
|
5. Theory of Logic / B. Logical Consequence / 5. Modus Ponens
10257
|
Intuitionism only sanctions modus ponens if all three components are proved [Shapiro]
|
5. Theory of Logic / C. Ontology of Logic / 1. Ontology of Logic
10253
|
Either logic determines objects, or objects determine logic, or they are separate [Shapiro]
|
5. Theory of Logic / D. Assumptions for Logic / 2. Excluded Middle
10251
|
The law of excluded middle might be seen as a principle of omniscience [Shapiro]
|
8729
|
Intuitionists deny excluded middle, because it is committed to transcendent truth or objects [Shapiro]
|
5. Theory of Logic / E. Structures of Logic / 1. Logical Form
13632
|
Finding the logical form of a sentence is difficult, and there are no criteria of correctness [Shapiro]
|
5. Theory of Logic / E. Structures of Logic / 2. Logical Connectives / a. Logical connectives
10212
|
Classical connectives differ from their ordinary language counterparts; '∧' is timeless, unlike 'and' [Shapiro]
|
5. Theory of Logic / E. Structures of Logic / 5. Functions in Logic
10209
|
A function is just an arbitrary correspondence between collections [Shapiro]
|
5. Theory of Logic / F. Referring in Logic / 1. Naming / d. Singular terms
12230
|
Singular terms refer if they make certain atomic statements true [Hale/Wright]
|
5. Theory of Logic / G. Quantification / 4. Substitutional Quantification
13674
|
We might reduce ontology by using truth of sentences and terms, instead of using objects satisfying models [Shapiro]
|
5. Theory of Logic / G. Quantification / 5. Second-Order Quantification
10290
|
Second-order variables also range over properties, sets, relations or functions [Shapiro]
|
5. Theory of Logic / G. Quantification / 6. Plural Quantification
10268
|
Maybe plural quantifiers should be understood in terms of classes or sets [Shapiro]
|
5. Theory of Logic / I. Semantics of Logic / 4. Satisfaction
10235
|
A sentence is 'satisfiable' if it has a model [Shapiro]
|
13633
|
'Satisfaction' is a function from models, assignments, and formulas to {true,false} [Shapiro]
|
5. Theory of Logic / J. Model Theory in Logic / 1. Logical Models
10239
|
The central notion of model theory is the relation of 'satisfaction' [Shapiro]
|
13644
|
Semantics for models uses set-theory [Shapiro]
|
10240
|
Model theory deals with relations, reference and extensions [Shapiro]
|
5. Theory of Logic / J. Model Theory in Logic / 2. Isomorphisms
13670
|
Categoricity can't be reached in a first-order language [Shapiro]
|
13636
|
An axiomatization is 'categorical' if its models are isomorphic, so there is really only one interpretation [Shapiro]
|
10214
|
Theory ontology is never complete, but is only determined 'up to isomorphism' [Shapiro]
|
10238
|
The set-theoretical hierarchy contains as many isomorphism types as possible [Shapiro]
|
5. Theory of Logic / J. Model Theory in Logic / 3. Löwenheim-Skolem Theorems
13648
|
The Löwenheim-Skolem theorems show an explosion of infinite models, so 1st-order is useless for infinity [Shapiro]
|
13675
|
Substitutional semantics only has countably many terms, so Upward Löwenheim-Skolem trivially fails [Shapiro]
|
10292
|
Downward Löwenheim-Skolem: if there's an infinite model, there is a countable model [Shapiro]
|
10234
|
Any theory with an infinite model has a model of every infinite cardinality [Shapiro]
|
10590
|
Up Löwenheim-Skolem: if natural numbers satisfy wffs, then an infinite domain satisfies them [Shapiro]
|
10296
|
The Löwenheim-Skolem Theorems fail for second-order languages with standard semantics [Shapiro]
|
13658
|
Downward Löwenheim-Skolem: each satisfiable countable set always has countable models [Shapiro]
|
13659
|
Upward Löwenheim-Skolem: each infinite model has infinite models of all sizes [Shapiro]
|
10297
|
The Löwenheim-Skolem theorem seems to be a defect of first-order logic [Shapiro]
|
5. Theory of Logic / K. Features of Logics / 3. Soundness
13635
|
'Weakly sound' if every theorem is a logical truth; 'sound' if every deduction is a semantic consequence [Shapiro]
|
5. Theory of Logic / K. Features of Logics / 4. Completeness
13628
|
We can live well without completeness in logic [Shapiro]
|
5. Theory of Logic / K. Features of Logics / 6. Compactness
13630
|
Non-compactness is a strength of second-order logic, enabling characterisation of infinite structures [Shapiro]
|
13646
|
Compactness is derived from soundness and completeness [Shapiro]
|
5. Theory of Logic / K. Features of Logics / 9. Expressibility
13661
|
A language is 'semantically effective' if its logical truths are recursively enumerable [Shapiro]
|
5. Theory of Logic / L. Paradox / 6. Paradoxes in Language / c. Grelling's paradox
10631
|
If 'x is heterological' iff it does not apply to itself, then 'heterological' is heterological if it isn't heterological [Hale/Wright]
