5. Theory of Logic / I. Semantics of Logic / 3. Logical Truth

22295	Modern logical truths are true under all interpretations of the non-logical words [Potter]
	Full Idea: In the modern definition, a 'logical truth' is true under every interpretation of the non-logical words it contains.
	From: Michael Potter (The Rise of Analytic Philosophy 1879-1930 [2020], 19 'Frege's')
	A reaction: What if the non-logical words are nonsense, or are used inconsistently ('good'), or ambiguously ('bank'), or vaguely ('bald'), or with unsure reference ('the greatest philosopher' becomes 'Bentham')? What qualifies as an 'interpretation'?
