5. Theory of Logic / A. Overview of Logic / 4. Pure Logic
A train of reasoning must be treated as all happening simultaneously [Recanati]
     Full Idea: For logic purposes, a train of reasoning has to be construed as synchronic.
     From: François Recanati (Mental Files in Flux [2016], 5.2)
     A reaction: If we are looking for a gulf between logic and the real world this is a factor to be considered, along with Nietzsche's observation about necessary simplification. [ref to Kaplan 'Afterthoughts' 1989, 584-5]
