5. Theory of Logic / A. Overview of Logic / 4. Pure Logic
15404 Technical people see logic as any formal system that can be studied, not a study of argument validity [Burgess]
5. Theory of Logic / A. Overview of Logic / 6. Classical Logic
15405 Classical logic neglects the non-mathematical, such as temporality or modality [Burgess]
15427 The Cut Rule expresses the classical idea that entailment is transitive [Burgess]
15421 Classical logic neglects counterfactuals, temporality and modality, because maths doesn't use them [Burgess]
5. Theory of Logic / A. Overview of Logic / 9. Philosophical Logic
15403 Philosophical logic is a branch of logic, and is now centred in computer science [Burgess]
5. Theory of Logic / E. Structures of Logic / 2. Logical Connectives / a. Logical connectives
15407 Formalising arguments favours lots of connectives; proving things favours having very few [Burgess]
5. Theory of Logic / E. Structures of Logic / 2. Logical Connectives / e. or
15424 Asserting a disjunction from one disjunct seems odd, but can be sensible, and needed in maths [Burgess]
5. Theory of Logic / E. Structures of Logic / 4. Variables in Logic
15409 All occurrences of variables in atomic formulas are free [Burgess]
5. Theory of Logic / F. Referring in Logic / 2. Descriptions / b. Definite descriptions
15414 The denotation of a definite description is flexible, rather than rigid [Burgess]
5. Theory of Logic / G. Quantification / 3. Objectual Quantification
13506 The universal quantifier can't really mean 'all', because there is no universal set [Hart,WD]
5. Theory of Logic / H. Proof Systems / 1. Proof Systems
15406 'Induction' and 'recursion' on complexity prove by connecting a formula to its atomic components [Burgess]
5. Theory of Logic / H. Proof Systems / 6. Sequent Calculi
15426 We can build one expanding sequence, instead of a chain of deductions [Burgess]
15425 The sequent calculus makes it possible to have proof without transitivity of entailment [Burgess]
5. Theory of Logic / I. Semantics of Logic / 3. Logical Truth
15408 'Tautologies' are valid formulas of classical sentential logic - or substitution instances in other logics [Burgess]
5. Theory of Logic / I. Semantics of Logic / 4. Satisfaction
15418 Validity (for truth) and demonstrability (for proof) have correlates in satisfiability and consistency [Burgess]
5. Theory of Logic / J. Model Theory in Logic / 1. Logical Models
15412 Models leave out meaning, and just focus on truth values [Burgess]
15411 We only need to study mathematical models, since all other models are isomorphic to these [Burgess]
13512 Modern model theory begins with the proof of Los's Conjecture in 1962 [Hart,WD]
13505 Model theory studies how set theory can model sets of sentences [Hart,WD]
13511 Model theory is mostly confined to first-order theories [Hart,WD]
15416 We aim to get the technical notion of truth in all models matching intuitive truth in all instances [Burgess]
13513 Models are ways the world might be from a first-order point of view [Hart,WD]
5. Theory of Logic / K. Features of Logics / 6. Compactness
13496 First-order logic is 'compact': consequences of a set are consequences of a finite subset [Hart,WD]
5. Theory of Logic / L. Paradox / 4. Paradoxes in Logic / c. Berry's paradox
13484 Berry's Paradox: we succeed in referring to a number, with a term which says we can't do that [Hart,WD]
5. Theory of Logic / L. Paradox / 5. Paradoxes in Set Theory / c. Burali-Forti's paradox
13482 The Burali-Forti paradox is a crisis for Cantor's ordinals [Hart,WD]
5. Theory of Logic / L. Paradox / 6. Paradoxes in Language / a. The Liar paradox
13507 The machinery used to solve the Liar can be rejigged to produce a new Liar [Hart,WD]
15428 The Liar seems like a truth-value 'gap', but dialethists see it as a 'glut' [Burgess]
