“…Here the cogency of monism becomes a technical matter: is it possible to provide a logical theory that secures necessary truth preservation in all situations? If the monist can survive the challenge of logical nihilism (Cotnoir 2018) and provide such a logic, even if a very weak one, she can call this the most satisfactory logic under the assumption that validity is truth-preservation in all situations.…”

Intuitions, theory choice and the ameliorative character of logical theories

Anti-exceptionalists about logic claim that logical methodology is not different from scientific methodology when it comes to theory choice. Two anti-exceptionalist accounts of theory choice in logic are abductivism (defended by Priest and Williamson) and predictivism (recently proposed by Martin and Hjortland). These accounts have in common reliance on pre-theoretical logical intuitions for the assessment of candidate logical theories. In this paper, I investigate whether intuitions can provide what abductivism and predictivism want from them and conclude that they do not. As an alternative to these approaches, I propose a Carnapian view on logical theorizing according to which logical theories do not simply account for pre-theoretical intuitions, but rather improve on them. In this account, logical theories are ameliorative, rather than representational.

“…My use of the phrase 'logical space' has been taken from Wittgenstein. 32 We can obtain a lucid idea of what Wittgenstein meant 30 You could consider inflationary and deflationary types of truth theories as types of theories that are metaphysically significance and metaphysically vacuous/trivial respectively. 31 See my forthcoming paper entitled 'Islamic Mystical Dialetheism Resolving the Paradox of God's Unknowability and Ineffability' [10].…”

“…31 See my forthcoming paper entitled 'Islamic Mystical Dialetheism Resolving the Paradox of God's Unknowability and Ineffability' [10]. 32 The notion of "logical space" was first introduced by Wittgenstein during his stay in Krakow in autumn 1914 while he was serving in the Austrian army. The considerations that finally led to the idea of an abstract space whose internal structure represents all the logic that underlies our ordinary language are well preserved in the first two wartime notebooks (MS 101, MS 102).…”

“…51 To do this, of course, we must specify the target system of our models-the parts of natural language whose logical consequence relation we are attempting to model, as well as the modeling hypotheses-the particular aspects of the natural language relation of logical consequence that we are supposing are similar to the relations we highlight in our models [18, p. 15]. 52 The modelling hypothesis has limitations as Cotnoir [32,33] has highlighted. 53 An isomorphism is a homomorphism between two structures that is also bijective.…”

Islamic Contradictory Theology . . . Is there any such Thing?

The application of paraconsistent logics to theological contradictions is a fascinating move. Jc Beall's (J Anal Theol, 7(1): 400-439, 2019) paper entitled 'Christ-A Contradiction: A Defense of 'Contradictory Christology' is a notable example. Beall proposes a solution to the fundamental problem of Christology. His solution aims at making the case, and defending the viability of, what he has termed, 'Contradictory Christology'. There are at least two essential components of Beall's 'Contradictory Christology'. These include the dogmatic statements of Chalcedon and FDE logic. The first is the theological contradiction in question. The second is the type of paraconsistent logic. Both components are integral to a contradictory theology in general. I argue that there can be no such thing as an Islamic contradictory theology. I make the case by establishing two points. These points correspond to both integral components of a contradictory theology in general. The first is that an Islamic theological contradiction does not entail an actual (logical) contradiction. The second is that FDE logic, including alternative sub-classical systems of logic, are not adequate in tolerating an Islamic theological contradiction.

Tematyce języka, czasu i przestrzeni poświęcono w literaturze polskiej i światowej bardzo dużo uwagi, zwłaszcza w ujęciu interdyscyplinarnym. Prace zebrane w niniejszym tomie wskazują na różne, nierzadko bardzo metaforyczne, sposoby pojmowania czasu i przestrzeni w szerokiej perspektywie lingwistycznej. Poszczególne rozdziały koncentrują się na wybranych aspektach użycia języka w przestrzeni internetowej i multimedialnej, na języku w przestrzeni miejskiej i państwowej. Kolejne teksty analizują język w różnych perspektywach czasowych, związanych z ewolucją języka i kontaktami międzyjęzykowymi, a także badają relacje zachodzące pomiędzy językiem a pamięcią, przedstawiają uwarunkowania zmian językowych w procesie afazji, przyglądają się przestrzeni teoretycznej, w której uprawiane jest językoznawstwo, oraz proponują rozważania o charakterze ogólnohumanistycznym. Autorzy koncentrują się na badaniach poszczególnych interesujących zjawisk i jednostkowych przypadków, a rozważania teoretyczno-metodologiczne splatają się z analizami zagadnień bardziej praktycznych. W niektórych tekstach pojawia się nawiązanie do aktualnych wydarzeń i ograniczeń, ale także nowych możliwości spowodowanych pandemią.
