Hintikka vs. Frege on the "logic of Being"
نویسنده
چکیده
Frege is the real culprit, rather than Russell. Hintikka views his dispute with Frege as pertaining to "the logic of being" (a phrase apparently coined by him; cf 1979, end of section 10: "Game-theoretical semantics is thus much closer to Aristotle's views on the logic of being than is the received view [Frege's]", emphasis mine, but the theoretical and historiographical opposition to Frege concerning the meaning of "is", is only a part of a more general "revolt against Frege" (Hintikka 1981b) undertaken by Hintikka.

Roles, Rigidity, and Quantification in Epistemic Logic
Epistemic modal predicate logic raises conceptual problems not faced in the case of alethic modal predicate logic: Frege’s “Hesperus-Phosphorus” problem— how to make sense of ascribing to agents ignorance of necessarily true identity statements—and the related “Hintikka-Kripke” problem—how to set up a logical system combining epistemic and alethic modalities, as well as others problems, such as...

متن کاملIf Logic, Definitions and the Vicious Circle Principle
In a definition (x)((xr)D[x]) of the set r, the definiens D[x]must not depend on the definiendum r. This implies that all quantifiers in D[x] are independent of r and of (x). This cannot be implemented in the traditional first-order logic, but can be expressed in IF logic. Violations of such independence requirements are what created the typical paradoxes of set theory. Poincaré's Vicious Circl...
متن کاملDid Frege Believe Frege's Principle?
In this essay I will consider two theses that are associated with Frege, and will investigate the extent to which Frege “really” believed them. Much of what I have to say will come as no surprise to scholars of the historical Frege. But Frege is not only a historical figure; he also occupies a site on the philosophical landscape that has allowed his doctrines to seep into the subconscious water...

Developments in reasoning about knowledge have picked up pace since the fundamental work of Jaakko Hintikka [4] and David Lewis [5]. A great deal of purely technical work has since come out of IBM [3], CUNY [7-13], Indiana, Amsterdam, and other places. However, some philosophical issues like the justification of knowledge go back to Plato and have recently received impetus since the work of Get...
