“…For example, in The Philosophy of Logical Atomism Russell (1956) said that when he argued that there were negative facts, it nearly produced a riot (p. 211). Armstrong (1997) rejects both negative and disjunctive facts, but he does accept conjunctive facts and totality facts.

We study the logical structure of 'real' relations, and in particular the notion of occurrences of objects in a state. We start with formulating a number of principles for occurrences and defining corresponding mathematical models. These models are analyzed to get more insight in the formal properties of occurrences. In particular, we prove uniqueness results that tell us more about the possible logical structures relations might have.

Logic, Epistemology, and the Unity of Science

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Logic, Epistemology, and the Unity of Science aims to reconsider the question of the unity of science in light of recent developments in logic. At present, no single logical, semantical or methodological framework dominates the philosophy of science. However, the editors of this series believe that formal techniques like, for example, independence friendly logic, dialogical logics, multimodal logics, game theoretic semantics and linear logics, have the potential to cast new light on basic issues in the discussion of the unity of science.This series provides a venue where philosophers and logicians can apply specific technical insights to fundamental philosophical problems. While the series is open to a wide variety of perspectives, including the study and analysis of argumentation and the critical discussion of the relationship between logic and the philosophy of science, the aim is to provide an integrated picture of the scientific enterprise in all its diversity.More information about this series at

“…25 His idea is that "while the step from constituents to states of affairs is a contingent one, all the further steps in the suggested regress follow necessarily.,,26 What he means is more clearly explained in an earlier publication where he describes the regress as follows. But he has a 'fall-back' position: even if an instantiation relation is admitted, the resulting regress is as harmless as the truth regress.…”

“…61 Since aRb and bRa (the relation either non-symmetrical or asymmetrical) are different states of affairs that share all constituents, they differ only by being different states of affairs. In support of this one might adduce apparent cases in which two facts differ without differing in a constituent.…”
