Philosophical Logic
Introductory logic is generally taught as a straightforward technical discipline. Are there quantificational idioms that cannot be expressed with the familiar universal and existential quantifiers? In this book, John MacFarlane helps the reader think about the limitations of, presuppositions of, and alternatives to classical first-order predicate logic, making this an ideal introduction to philosophical logic for any student who already has completed an introductory logic course.The book explores the following questions.
Does the material conditional adequately capture the meaning of 'if'--and if not, what are the alternatives? How can logic be extended to capture modal notions like necessity and obligation? Should logical consequence be understood in terms of models or in terms of proofs?
Can one intelligibly question the validity of basic logical principles like Modus Ponens
