Logical pluralism is the view that there is more than one correct logic. This view emerged in a dialectical context in which certain laws of logic were hotly debated by philosophers. According to the pluralist, some rival logics are both correct in...Loe edasi...

This Element delves into the relationship between logic and the sciences, a topic brought to prominence by Quine, who regarded logic as methodologically and epistemologically akin to the sciences. It hopes to foster our understanding of the fundament...Loe edasi...

The Principle of Univocality has two parts: an existence assumption and a uniqueness assumption. The existence assumption holds that every name refers to at least one individual, and the uniqueness assumption states that every name refers to at most...Loe edasi...

This Element explores the use of probability theory to provide an inductive logic framework for evaluating hypotheses. It suggests that a hypothesiss overall standing is represented by its probability based on total evidence, with incremental suppor...Loe edasi...

Reasoning from inconclusive evidence, or induction, is central to science and any applications we make of it. For that reason alone it demands the attention of philosophers of science. This element explores the prospects of using probability theory...Loe edasi...

The concept of grounding – of a fact obtaining in virtue of other facts – has been a topic of intensive philosophical and logical investigation over roughly the past two decades. Many philosophers take grounding to deserve a central place in metaphys...Loe edasi...
Meinongianism (named after Alexius Meinong) is, roughly, the view that there are not only existent but also nonexistent objects. In this book, Meinongs so-called object theory as well as “neo-Meinongian” reconstructions are presented and discussed,...Loe edasi...
