Logical pluralism

By: Contributor(s): Language: English Publication details: Oxford University Press Oxford 2006Description: viii,143pISBN:
  • 9780199288410
Subject(s): DDC classification:
  • 160 B36l
Summary: Consequence is at the heart of logic; an account of consequence, of what follows from what, offers a vital tool in the evaluation of arguments. Since philosophy itself proceeds by way of argument and inference, a clear view of what logical consequence amounts to is of central importance to the whole discipline. In this book JC Beall and Greg Restall present and defend what thay call logical pluralism, the view that there is more than one genuine deductive consequence relation, a position which has profound implications for many linguists as well as for philosophers. We should not search for one true logic, since there are many.
