| 9724 | Until the 1960s the only semantics was truth-tables [Enderton] |
| 9703 | 'dom R' indicates the 'domain' of objects having a relation [Enderton] |
| 9705 | 'fld R' indicates the 'field' of all objects in the relation [Enderton] |
| 9704 | 'ran R' indicates the 'range' of objects being related to [Enderton] |
| 9710 | We write F:A→B to indicate that A maps into B (the output of F on A is in B) [Enderton] |
| 9707 | 'F(x)' is the unique value which F assumes for a value of x [Enderton] |
| 9712 | A relation is 'symmetric' on a set if every ordered pair has the relation in both directions [Enderton] |
| 9713 | A relation is 'transitive' if it can be carried over from two ordered pairs to a third [Enderton] |
| 9699 | The 'powerset' of a set is all the subsets of a given set [Enderton] |
| 9700 | Two sets are 'disjoint' iff their intersection is empty [Enderton] |
| 9702 | A 'domain' of a relation is the set of members of ordered pairs in the relation [Enderton] |
| 9701 | A 'relation' is a set of ordered pairs [Enderton] |
| 9706 | A 'function' is a relation in which each object is related to just one other object [Enderton] |
| 9708 | A function 'maps A into B' if the relating things are set A, and the things related to are all in B [Enderton] |
| 9709 | A function 'maps A onto B' if the relating things are set A, and the things related to are set B [Enderton] |
| 9711 | A relation is 'reflexive' on a set if every member bears the relation to itself [Enderton] |
| 9714 | A relation satisfies 'trichotomy' if all pairs are either relations, or contain identical objects [Enderton] |
| 9717 | A set is 'dominated' by another if a one-to-one function maps the first set into a subset of the second [Enderton] |
| 9715 | An 'equivalence relation' is a reflexive, symmetric and transitive binary relation [Enderton] |
| 9716 | We 'partition' a set into distinct subsets, according to each relation on its objects [Enderton] |
| 9722 | Inference not from content, but from the fact that it was said, is 'conversational implicature' [Enderton] |
| 9718 | Validity is either semantic (what preserves truth), or proof-theoretic (following procedures) [Enderton] |
| 9721 | A logical truth or tautology is a logical consequence of the empty set [Enderton] |
| 9994 | A truth assignment to the components of a wff 'satisfy' it if the wff is then True [Enderton] |
| 9719 | A proof theory is 'sound' if its valid inferences entail semantic validity [Enderton] |
| 9720 | A proof theory is 'complete' if semantically valid inferences entail proof-theoretic validity [Enderton] |
| 9995 | Proof in finite subsets is sufficient for proof in an infinite set [Enderton] |
| 9996 | Expressions are 'decidable' if inclusion in them (or not) can be proved [Enderton] |
| 9997 | For a reasonable language, the set of valid wff's can always be enumerated [Enderton] |
| 9723 | Sentences with 'if' are only conditionals if they can read as A-implies-B [Enderton] |
| 22167 | Our images of bodies are not produced by the bodies, but by our own minds [Augustine, by Aquinas] |
| 6455 | Maybe 'sense-data' just help us to talk about unusual perceptual situations [Lacey] |
| 6454 | Where do sense-data begin or end? Can they change? What sort of thing are they? [Lacey] |
| 6453 | Some claim sense-data are public, and are parts of objects [Lacey] |
| 22117 | Our minds grasp reality by direct illumination (rather than abstraction from experience) [Augustine, by Matthews] |
| 22118 | Augustine created the modern concept of the will [Augustine, by Matthews] |
| 4348 | Love, and do what you will [Augustine] |
| 7821 | Pagans produced three hundred definitions of the highest good [Augustine, by Grayling] |
| 22119 | Augustine said (unusually) that 'ought' does not imply 'can' [Augustine, by Matthews] |
| 22116 | Augustine identified Donatism, Pelagianism and Manicheism as the main heresies [Augustine, by Matthews] |
| 19338 | Augustine said evil does not really exist, and evil is a limitation in goodness [Augustine, by Perkins] |
