5. Theory of Logic / A. Overview of Logic / 5. First-Order Logic
10588 First-order logic is Complete, and Compact, with the Löwenheim-Skolem Theorems [Shapiro]
5. Theory of Logic / A. Overview of Logic / 7. Second-Order Logic
10298 Some say that second-order logic is mathematics, not logic [Shapiro]
10299 If the aim of logic is to codify inferences, second-order logic is useless [Shapiro]

5. Theory of Logic / G. Quantification / 5. Second-Order Quantification
10290 Second-order variables also range over properties, sets, relations or functions [Shapiro]
5. Theory of Logic / J. Model Theory in Logic / 3. Löwenheim-Skolem Theorems
10590 Up Löwenheim-Skolem: if natural numbers satisfy wffs, then an infinite domain satisfies them [Shapiro]
10296 The Löwenheim-Skolem Theorems fail for second-order languages with standard semantics [Shapiro]
