Logical and Philosophical Remarks on Quasi-Set Theory
نویسندگان
چکیده
Quasi-set theory is a theory for dealing with collections of indistinguishable objects. In this paper we discuss some logical and philosophical questions involved with such a theory. The analysis of these questions enable us to provide the first grounds of a possible new view of physical reality, founded on an ontology of non-individuals, to which quasi-set theory may constitute the logical basis.

Indeed, much of what we call analytic philosophy can be understood as something like the attempt to " characterize the logical forms " of various classes of sentences. Thus metaethical investigations into the nature of moral goodness can be thought of as attempts to " characterize the logical...
متن کاملTopological structure on generalized approximation space related to n-arry relation
Classical structure of rough set theory was first formulated by Z. Pawlak in [6]. The foundation of its object classification is an equivalence binary relation and equivalence classes. The upper and lower approximation operations are two core notions in rough set theory. They can also be seenas a closure operator and an interior operator of the topology induced by an equivalence relation on a u...
متن کاملLogical consequence revisited
Tarski’s 1936 paper, “On the concept of logical consequence”, is a rather philosophical, non-technical paper that leaves room for conflicting interpretations. My purpose is to review some important issues that explicitly or implicitly constitute its themes. My discussion contains four sections: (1) terminological and conceptual preliminaries, (2) Tarski’s definition of the concept of logical co...

In this presentation we shall raise the following issues connected with the discourse of rough set theory: 1. indistinguishability 2. definition of a rough set 3. language dependency, the problem of referent 4. vagueness 5. abstraction 6. application-friendliness We shall argue that existing practices prevailing in rough set research fall short in addressing most of the issues. After almost fif...
