18781 | Inconsistency doesn't prevent us reasoning about some system [Mares] |
18790 | Intuitionism as natural deduction has no rule for negation [Mares] |
18789 | Intuitionist logic looks best as natural deduction [Mares] |
18787 | Three-valued logic is useful for a theory of presupposition [Mares] |
9390 | Logic guides thinking, but it isn't a substitute for it [Rumfitt] |
18793 | Material implication (and classical logic) considers nothing but truth values for implications [Mares] |
18784 | In classical logic the connectives can be related elegantly, as in De Morgan's laws [Mares] |
18786 | Excluded middle standardly implies bivalence; attacks use non-contradiction, De M 3, or double negation [Mares] |
18780 | Standard disjunction and negation force us to accept the principle of bivalence [Mares] |
18782 | The connectives are studied either through model theory or through proof theory [Mares] |
10001 | An adjective contributes semantically to a noun phrase [Hofweber] |
10007 | Quantifiers for domains and for inference come apart if there are no entities [Hofweber] |
18783 | Many-valued logics lack a natural deduction system [Mares] |
18792 | Situation semantics for logics: not possible worlds, but information in situations [Mares] |
18785 | Consistency is semantic, but non-contradiction is syntactic [Mares] |
9998 | What is the relation of number words as singular-terms, adjectives/determiners, and symbols? [Hofweber] |
10002 | '2 + 2 = 4' can be read as either singular or plural [Hofweber] |
10003 | Why is arithmetic hard to learn, but then becomes easy? [Hofweber] |
10008 | Arithmetic is not about a domain of entities, as the quantifiers are purely inferential [Hofweber] |
10005 | Arithmetic doesn’t simply depend on objects, since it is true of fictional objects [Hofweber] |
10000 | We might eliminate adjectival numbers by analysing them into blocks of quantifiers [Hofweber] |
10006 | First-order logic captures the inferential relations of numbers, but not the semantics [Hofweber] |
18788 | For intuitionists there are not numbers and sets, but processes of counting and collecting [Mares] |
9389 | Vague membership of sets is possible if the set is defined by its concept, not its members [Rumfitt] |
10004 | Our minds are at their best when reasoning about objects [Hofweber] |
18791 | In 'situation semantics' our main concepts are abstracted from situations [Mares] |
