Abstract and Keywords
This article explores the role of logic in philosophical methodology, as well as its application in philosophy. The discussion gives a roughly equal coverage to the seven branches of logic: elementary logic, set theory, model theory, recursion theory, proof theory, extraclassical logics, and anticlassical logics. Mathematical logic comprises set theory, model theory, recursion theory, and proof theory. Philosophical logic in the relevant sense is divided into the study of extensions of classical logic, such as modal or temporal or deontic or conditional logics, and the study of alternatives to classical logic, such as intuitionistic or quantum or partial or paraconsistent logics. The nonclassical consists of the extraclassical and the anticlassical, although the distinction is not clearcut.
Keywords: logic, philosophical methodology, philosophy, elementary logic, set theory, model theory, recursion theory, proof theory, extraclassical logics, anticlassical logics
John P. Burgess, Ph.D. in Logic, Berkeley (1975), has taught since 1976 at Princeton, where he is now Director of Undergraduate Studies. His interests include logic, philosophy of mathematics, metaethics, and pataphysics. He is the author of numerous articles on mathematical and philosophical logic and philosophy of mathematics, and of Fixing Frege and (with Gideon Rosen) A Subject with No Object (Oxford University Press, 1997).
