Abstract

A recent logical anti-exceptionalist trend proposes that logical theories are revisable in the same manner as scientific theories, either on grounds of the method of theory selection or on what counts as evidence for this revision. Given this approximation of logic and science, the present essay analyzes the commitments of both these varieties and argues that, as it currently stands, this kind of anti-exceptionalism is committed to scientific realism, that is, to realism about some unobservable entities evoked in logical theories. The essay argues that anti-exceptionalism cannot be separated into metaphysical and epistemological varieties, and proposed rather to label anti-exceptionalists views either broadly in terms of theory revision, or narrowly in terms of logic’s affinity with science.
论(认识论)逻辑反例外论的形而上学
最近的一种逻辑反例外主义趋势提出,逻辑理论可以以与科学理论相同的方式进行修正,无论是基于理论选择的方法,还是基于这种修正的证据。鉴于逻辑和科学的这种近似,本文分析了这两种变体的承诺,并认为,就目前而言,这种反例外主义致力于科学现实主义,即关于逻辑理论中唤起的一些不可观察实体的现实主义。本文认为,反例外论不能分为形而上学和认识论两种,并建议要么从理论修正的角度对反例外论观点进行宽泛的标记,要么从逻辑与科学的亲和力的角度对其进行狭义的标记。
