Representing Buridan’s Divided Modal Propositions in First-Order Logic
Formalizing categorical propositions of traditional logic in the language of quantifiers and propositional functions is no straightforward matter, especially when modalities get involved. Starting with the formulas for non-modal categoricals, we consider various ways of modalizing the formulas and semantic criteria of their evaluation that can be derived from Buridan. In addition to the logical relations included in the octagon of divided modal propositions, three interrelated aspects are taken into account—existential import, sensitivity to ampliation of terms in modal contexts, and quantification over possibilia. We end by suggesting a representation of Buridan’s divided modal propositions that relies on the use of actualist quantification over variable domains. The formulas adequately capture the truth conditions given by Buridan, and they preserve all relations of the octagon, as well as permissible conversions in modal S5.
期刊介绍:
History and Philosophy of Logic contains articles, notes and book reviews dealing with the history and philosophy of logic. ’Logic’ is understood to be any volume of knowledge which was regarded as logic at the time in question. ’History’ refers back to ancient times and also to work in this century; however, the Editor will not accept articles, including review articles, on very recent work on a topic. ’Philosophy’ refers to broad and general questions: specialist articles which are now classed as ’philosophical logic’ will not be published.
The Editor will consider articles on the relationship between logic and other branches of knowledge, but the component of logic must be substantial. Topics with no temporal specification are to be interpreted both historically and philosophically. Each topic includes its own metalogic where appropriate.
