Anti-Exceptionalism About Logic (Saul Kripke Center, CUNY, University of Bergen)
Together with the Saul Kripke Center (CUNY), the Bergen Logic Group is organizing a workshop in New York City, September 20-21.
Main content
Logic has frequently played an exceptional role in philosophical projects. The laws of logic have been considered听self-evident, obvious or a priori, and therefore epistemologically foundational. As a result, logic听has been set apart from the other sciences.
According to anti-exceptionalism, however, the priviliged epistemological status of logical laws has been exaggerated. Instead, both logical theories and theory-choice in logic are continuous with the theories and methods of other sciences. But what does that tell us about theory-choice in logic, and does it help us adjudicate in the many disputes between rival logical theories?
We are very grateful for funding from the , The Research Council of Norway, and the University of Bergen.
