This paper examines the conceptions of logic from Leibniz, Hume, Kant, Frege, Wittgenstein and Ayer, and regards the six philosophers as the representatives of logical exceptionalism. From their standpoints, this paper refines the tenets of logical exceptionalism as follows: logic is exceptional to all other sciences because of four reasons: (i) logic is formal, neutral to any domain and any entities, and general; (ii) logical truths are made true by the meanings of logical constants they contain or by logicians' rational insight to consequence relations; (iii) logical truths are analytical, a prior and necessary, so not‐revisable; and (iv) logical laws are normative for how to correctly think. However, logical exceptionalism has encountered difficult open problems: What are logical constants? How to justify basic laws of logic? How are logical laws accessible to us? How to explain the reasonability of rival logics and select from them? How to explain the universal applicability of logical laws? How to explain the normativity of logical laws for correct thinking? This paper concludes that logical anti‐exceptionalism is more hopeful to successfully answer these questions than logical exceptionalism.
本文研究了莱布尼茨、休谟、康德、弗雷格、维特根斯坦和艾耶尔的逻辑观念,并将这六位哲学家视为逻辑例外论的代表。从他们的观点出发,本文将逻辑例外论的信条细化为:逻辑之所以不同于其他所有科学,原因有四:(1) 逻辑是形式的,对任何领域和任何实体都是中性的,具有普遍性;(2) 逻辑真理是通过其所包含的逻辑常量的意义或逻辑学家对后果关系的理性洞察而成真;(3) 逻辑真理是分析性的、先验的和必然的,因此不可反悔;(4) 逻辑规律对如何正确思考具有规范性。然而,逻辑例外论遇到了棘手的公开问题:什么是逻辑常量?如何论证逻辑基本定律?逻辑规律如何为我们所掌握?如何解释对立逻辑的合理性并从中进行选择?如何解释逻辑规律的普遍适用性?如何解释逻辑规律对正确思维的规范性?本文的结论是,逻辑反例外论比逻辑例外论更有希望成功地回答这些问题。

Definitions by abstraction and Leibniz's notion of quantity 抽象定义与莱布尼兹的量概念

This paper analyses the abstractionist account of quantity championed by Leibniz, especially in the 1680s. Leibniz introduced the notion of quantity in an indirect way, via an abstraction principle. In the first part of the paper, I identify the context in which this approach arose in light of Leibniz's criticism of his earlier dream of an ‘alphabet of human thought’. Recognising the impossibility of such a project led him to realise that, when dealing with terms referring to abstract objects, we should always consider them within the true sentences in which they occur. In the second part, I describe this approach in detail. This allows us to look at some key concepts of Leibniz's theory of quantity. In particular, I raise the problem of the relationship between the two sides of the abstraction principle: how should we think of the relation between the claim that a and b are equal, and the claim that the quantity of a is identical to the quantity of b? I argue that we can find a positive answer to this problem in Leibniz.
本文分析了莱布尼茨,尤其是 16 世纪 80 年代所倡导的抽象主义的量论。莱布尼茨通过抽象原则,以间接的方式引入了量的概念。在论文的第一部分,我根据莱布尼茨对他早先梦想的 "人类思想字母表 "的批评,指出了这种方法产生的背景。认识到这一计划的不可能性后,他意识到,在处理指涉抽象对象的术语时,我们应始终在它们出现的真实句子中考虑它们。在第二部分,我将详细介绍这种方法。这样,我们就可以研究莱布尼茨量论的一些关键概念。特别是,我提出了抽象原则两边的关系问题:我们应该如何看待 a 和 b 相等的说法与 a 的量与 b 的量相同的说法之间的关系?我认为,我们可以在莱布尼茨那里找到这个问题的正面答案。

Overcoming von Wright's anxiety 克服冯-赖特的焦虑
IF 0.5 3区 哲学 Q4 SOCIOLOGY Pub Date : 2024-04-11 DOI: 10.1111/theo.12519
Andrew Halpin
This article examines the anxiety expressed by von Wright over the status of the deontic permission, P, as an independent normative category, given the interdefinability between P and O at the foundation of deontic logic. Two concerns are noted: the reducibility of P to O, and the inadequacy of P to convey a full permission in a social setting. Drawing on resources from the Hohfeldian analytical framework, the relational and aggregate features of permission are explored, and an aggregate conception of permission, P, is recognized. With the assistance of insights from Demey and Smessaert on duals, Hansson on formalization, and Soames on interdefinability, it is concluded that the interdefinability thesis can be defended without threatening the independent status of P. Additional grounds for reaching this conclusion are provided from a detailed analysis of the relationship between P and P. Some implications of the more expansive notion of permission, P, are considered with regard to the resources of deontic logic and their application.
本文探讨了冯-赖特对作为一个独立规范范畴的 "允准"(P)的地位所表达的焦虑,因为 "允准"(P)与 "允准"(O)之间的互定性是 "允准 "逻辑的基础。冯-赖特指出了两个值得关注的问题:P 与 O 之间的可还原性,以及 P 不足以在社会环境中传达完整的许可。借助霍菲尔德分析框架的资源,我们探讨了许可的关系特征和集合特征,并确认了许可的集合概念 P。在德米和斯梅萨特关于二元性、汉森关于形式化以及索姆斯关于可定义性的见解的帮助下,我们得出结论,可定义性论题可以在不威胁 P 的独立地位的情况下得到辩护。

The surplus value of knowledge 知识的剩余价值
IF 0.5 3区 哲学 Q4 SOCIOLOGY Pub Date : 2024-04-11 DOI: 10.1111/theo.12521
Wolfgang Spohn
The Meno problem, asking for the surplus value of knowledge beyond the value of true justified belief, was recently much treated within reliabilist and virtue epistemologies. The answers from formal epistemology, by contrast, are quite poor. This paper attempts to improve the score of formal epistemology by precisely explicating Timothy Williamson's suggestion that ‘present knowledge is less vulnerable than mere present true belief to rational undermining by future evidence’. It does so by combining Nozick's sensitivity analysis of knowledge with Spohn's fact‐asserting epistemic interpretation of conditionals. Accordingly, the surplus value of knowledge lies in a specific kind of stability of knowledge, which differs, though, from that claimed by other so‐called stability analyses of knowledge.
美诺问题追问的是知识的剩余价值,超出了真正的合理信念的价值,最近在可靠主义和美德认识论中得到了广泛的讨论。相比之下,形式认识论的答案却相当糟糕。蒂莫西-威廉姆森(Timothy Williamson)提出 "现在的知识比单纯的现在的真实信念更不容易受到未来证据的理性破坏",本文试图通过精确阐释这一观点来提高形式认识论的得分。它将诺齐克对知识的敏感性分析与斯波恩对条件句的事实证明认识论解释结合起来,从而实现了这一目的。因此,知识的剩余价值在于一种特定的知识稳定性,但这种稳定性不同于其他所谓的知识稳定性分析。

Bilateralism, collapsing modalities, and the logic of assertion and denial 双边主义、模式崩溃以及断言和否认的逻辑
IF 0.5 3区 哲学 Q4 SOCIOLOGY Pub Date : 2024-03-17 DOI: 10.1111/theo.12516
Nils Kürbis
Rumfitt has given two arguments that in unilateralist verificationist theories of meaning, truth collapses into correct assertibility. In the present paper I give similar arguments that show that in unilateral falsificationist theories of meaning, falsehood collapses into correct deniability. According to bilateralism, meanings are determined by assertion and denial conditions, so the question arises whether it succumbs to similar arguments. I show that this is not the case. The final section considers the question whether a principle central to Rumfitt's first argument, ‘It is assertible that if and only if it is assertible that it is assertible that ’, is one that bilateralists can reject, and concludes that they cannot. It follows that the logic of assertibility and deniability, according to a result by Williamson, is the little known modal logic K4 studied by Sobociński. The paper ends with a plaidoyer for bilateralists to adopt this logic.
拉姆菲特提出了两个论点,说明在单边主义的意义验证论中,真理会归结为正确的可断言性。在本文中,我给出了类似的论证,表明在单边意义证伪主义理论中,谬误会归结为正确的可否认性。根据双边主义,意义是由断言和否认条件决定的,因此问题在于它是否会屈从于类似的论证。我证明情况并非如此。最后一节探讨了一个问题,即朗菲特第一个论证的核心原则 "当且仅当可断言 A$$ A $$$是可断言的A$$ A $$$"是否是双边主义者可以拒绝的原则,结论是他们不能拒绝。由此可见,根据威廉姆森的一个结果,可断言性和可否认性逻辑就是索博辛斯基研究的鲜为人知的模态逻辑 K4。本文最后提出了双边主义者采用这一逻辑的建议。

Sidgwick and Bentham's “double aspect” of utilitarianism revisited 西奇威克和边沁的《功利主义的 "双重性"》再探讨

Yanxiang Zhang
In “Sidgwick on Bentham: the ‘Double Aspect’ of Utilitarianism”, Schofield argued that Bentham did not regard his psychological theory as part of his utilitarianism and that natural benevolence is at his disposal to mitigate the problem of the “double aspect” of utilitarianism. This paper argues that Bentham regarded his psychological theory as part of his utilitarianism and that, in a manner quite distinct from an internal, benevolence approach, he took advantage of self-preference and thus adopted a self-preference and artificial means-based approach, thereby still maintaining an internal approach supported by external, institutional contrivance. In so doing, he argued first that self-preference could add to the greatest happiness; second, that benevolence would tend to facilitate the achievement of the greatest happiness, with the consequence that he endorsed the artificial cultivation of benevolence; and third, that the artificial means of the junction-of-interests-prescribing principle should be adopted to bridge the gap between self-preference and the greatest happiness. Sidgwick failed to appreciate the depth and sophistication of Bentham's logic.
在《西奇威克论边沁:功利主义的 "双重方面"》一文中,肖菲尔德认为边沁并没有将他的心理学理论视为其功利主义的一部分,他可以利用自然仁慈来缓解功利主义的 "双重方面 "问题。本文认为,边沁将他的心理学理论视为他的功利主义的一部分,他以一种与内在的、仁慈的方法截然不同的方式,利用了自我偏好,从而采取了一种以自我偏好和人为手段为基础的方法,从而仍然保持了一种由外部的、制度性的工具所支持的内在方法。在此过程中,他首先论证了自我偏好可以增加最大幸福;其次论证了仁爱会促进最大幸福的实现,因此他赞同人为地培养仁爱;第三论证了应该采用利益交汇点原则的人为手段来弥合自我偏好与最大幸福之间的差距。西奇威克没有领会到边沁逻辑的深刻性和复杂性。

Metaphysical explanations: The case of singleton sets revisited 形而上学的解释:单子集案例再探
IF 0.5 3区 哲学 Q4 SOCIOLOGY Pub Date : 2024-02-27 DOI: 10.1111/theo.12511
Kai Michael Büttner
Many contemporary metaphysicians believe that the existence of a contingent object such as Socrates metaphysically explains the existence of the corresponding set {Socrates}. This paper argues that this belief is mistaken. The argument proposed takes the form of a dilemma. The expression “{Socrates}” is a shorthand either for the expression “the set that contains all and only those objects that are identical to Socrates” or for the expression “the set that contains Socrates and nothing else”. However, Socrates' existence does not explain the existence of the set that contains all and only those objects that are identical to Socrates, because there is such a set no matter whether or not Socrates exists. And although Socrates' existence does explain that of the set that contains Socrates and nothing else, this explanation is a conceptual rather than a metaphysical one. Both these claims rely on a deflationary account of the use of set theoretic vocabulary that is explained, though not properly justified, in the paper.
许多当代形而上学家认为,苏格拉底这样一个或然物的存在可以形而上学地解释相应集合{苏格拉底}的存在。本文认为这种观点是错误的。本文提出的论证采用了两难的形式。{苏格拉底}"这一表述是 "包含所有且仅包含那些与苏格拉底相同的对象的集合 "这一表述或 "包含苏格拉底而不包含任何其他对象的集合 "这一表述的简称。然而,苏格拉底的存在并不能解释包含所有且仅包含那些与苏格拉底相同的对象的集合的存在,因为无论苏格拉底是否存在,都存在这样一个集合。虽然苏格拉底的存在确实解释了包含苏格拉底而不包含其他东西的集合的存在,但这种解释是概念性的,而不是形而上学的。这两种说法都依赖于对集合论词汇使用的一种通货紧缩的解释。

It has been claimed that friendship not only involves partial treatment of one's friends but that it also involves some degree of doxastic partiality towards them. Taking these claims as their starting points, some philosophers have argued that friendship not only involves such partiality but that this is also what is normatively required. This gives rise to the possibility of conflict between the demands of friendship on the one hand and the demands of epistemic norms on the other. In this paper, I consider some of the responses to this claim and show why they fail. I distinguish between different grades of doxastic partiality and explain why, although low grades of doxastic partiality fall within the bounds of the standard epistemic norm, the higher grades might infringe such norms. I conclude with an explanation of a fundamental intuition that seems to lie at the heart of the thesis of epistemic partiality.
有人声称,友谊不仅涉及对朋友的部分对待,还涉及对朋友某种程度的 "逻各斯偏袒"。以这些主张为出发点,一些哲学家认为,友谊不仅涉及这种偏袒,而且这也是规范所要求的。这就产生了友谊的要求与认识论规范的要求之间发生冲突的可能性。在本文中,我考虑了对这一主张的一些回应,并说明了它们失败的原因。我区分了不同等级的 "嗜好偏袒",并解释了为什么低等级的 "嗜好偏袒 "在标准认识论规范的范围之内,而高等级的 "嗜好偏袒 "却可能违反这种规范。最后,我将解释一个基本的直觉,它似乎是认识论偏袒论的核心。
