Studies on the history of logic

More about the book

This comprehensive exploration delves into various philosophical concepts and figures, beginning with Aristotle's theories on predication and regress arguments. It examines the interpretations of possibility by Alexander of Aphrodisias and Cicero, alongside Fonseca's insights on topics and medieval skepticism. The discussion includes thought experiments regarding obligations and the determination of future propositions by Antonio Andrés and John Duns Scotus. Key topics also cover Domingo de Soto's views on analogy and equivocation, the Triplex Status Naturae, and the semantics of Ramon Llull. The text addresses Jeronimo Pardo's doctrine of descent, the nature of propositions in the post-medieval period, and Peter of Capua's copulatio. Wyclif's notions of sensus compositus et divisus are analyzed, along with examples of logic from New Spain during the sixteenth to eighteenth centuries. The work further investigates necessity in the context of the Galilean Revolution, Peirce's concepts of truth and propositions, and the relationship between Wittgenstein and Peirce. It also touches on arithmetical abstraction in Aristotle and Frege, the role of subsistent propositions in Russell's philosophical logic, and the implications of Carnap's reconstruction of intuitionistic logic. Additionally, it discusses influences of Hermann Graßmann on modern logic and the themes of indeterminism and future contingency in non-classical logics, concl
