Gabriel Sandu: What is logic? Some thoughts about my work with Jaakko Hintikka

Gabriel Sandu: What is logic? The Finnish Society for Natural Philosophy. 17.11.2023 klo. 16.00-18.00. House of Sciences and Letters, hall 104. The talk is inspired by a joint paper with Jaakko Hintikka, ‘What Is Logic?’ (2007) and argues against the prevalent conception of logic which is motivated by a particular ‘completeness ideal’. The ideal, which goes back to Kant and is transported into XXth century logic by Hilbert and Gödel, has two edges, one metaphysical and the other epistemological. The metaphysical aspect expresses a certain demand on the notion of truth and the epistemological focuses on a certain demand on the notion of knowledge (proof). The present talk, based on many years of joint work with Jaakko Hintikka, presents reasons to be pessimistic about the GH completeness ideal and defends a conception of logic based on a different notion of completeness than the standard one.

Philosophy of Logic, Handbook of the philosophy of science, Elsevier, 2007 Joseph Almog, Vesa Halava and Gabriel Sandu, ‘Logic and the Ultimate Completeness Ideal’, forthcoming --- The Finnish Society for Natural Philosophy seeks to awaken and uphold activity and research into the philosophical questions raised by pure and applied natural science, and to bring together representatives of the different areas of science in these philosophical deliberations by promoting co-operation between them. The Society aims to study those achievements and theories of the different branches of science that strive to describe reality from different perspectives without preconceptions. The Society does not bind itself to uncritical acceptance of prevailing paradigms and physical conceptual frameworks but is open to soundly based alternatives whose empirical extent (what it predicts and explains) and metaphysical core or basic structure is clearly and comprehensively expressed. https://www.luonnonfilosofia.fi   / luonnonfilosofia      • Luonnonfilosofian seura
