The various logics are abstractions made from terms like 'if...then' in English [Hacking]

5. Theory of Logic / A. Overview of Logic / 5. First-Order Logic

13840

First-order logic is the strongest complete compact theory with Löwenheim-Skolem [Hacking]

13844

A limitation of first-order logic is that it cannot handle branching quantifiers [Hacking]

5. Theory of Logic / A. Overview of Logic / 7. Second-Order Logic

13842

Second-order completeness seems to need intensional entities and possible worlds [Hacking]

5. Theory of Logic / D. Assumptions for Logic / 2. Excluded Middle

9775	Excluded Middle, and classical logic, may fail for vague predicates [Fine,K]

5. Theory of Logic / E. Structures of Logic / 2. Logical Connectives / a. Logical connectives

13837

With a pure notion of truth and consequence, the meanings of connectives are fixed syntactically [Hacking]

5. Theory of Logic / E. Structures of Logic / 4. Variables in Logic

13839

Perhaps variables could be dispensed with, by arrows joining places in the scope of quantifiers [Hacking]

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

9771	Logic holding between indefinite sentences is the core of all language [Fine,K]

5. Theory of Logic / J. Model Theory in Logic / 3. Löwenheim-Skolem Theorems

13843
