| 16973 | Explain logical necessity by logical consequence, or the other way around? [Correia] |
| Full Idea: One view is that logical consequence is to be understood in terms of logical necessity (some proposition holds necessarily, if some group of other propositions holds). Alternatively, logical necessity is a logical consequence of the empty set. | |
| From: Fabrice Correia (On the Reduction of Necessity to Essence [2012], 3) | |
| A reaction: I think my Finean preference is for all necessities to have a 'necessitator', so logical necessity results from logic in some way, perhaps from logical consequence, or from the essences of the connectives and operators. |
