Is Logic Empirical
暂无分享,去创建一个
I want to begin by considering a case in which ‘necessary’ truths (or rather ‘truths’, turned out to be falsehoods: the case of Euclidean geometry. I then want to raise the question: could some of the ‘necessary truths’ of logic ever turn out to be false for empirical reasons? I shall argue that the answer to this question is in the affirmative, and that logic is, in a certain sense, a natural science.
