Which Quantifiers Are Logical? A Combined Semantical and Inferential Criterion

Feferman, Solomon

Pages: 19 –30

[The aim of logic is to characterize the forms of reasoning that lead invariably from true sentences to true sentences, independently of the subject matter; thus its concerns combine semantical and inferential notions in an essential way. Up to now most proposed characterizations of logicality of...

Implicit Definitions, Second-Order Quantifiers, and the Robustness of the Logical Operators

Koslow, Arnold

Pages: 31 –49

[We use a modified version of E.Beth’s concept of implicit definitions to show that all the usual logical operators as well as the first and second order quantifiers are implicitly defined—and for essentially the same reason that involves an account of the logical operators using a concept of...

Quantifiers Are Logical Constants, but Only Ambiguously

Shin, Sun-Joo

Pages: 51 –70

[Why is it crucial to categorize quantifiers as logical constants? After clarifying the importance of the issue in a larger context of logical theories, the paper investigates the following question: Why do we encounter a more contentious debate on the logical constancy of quantifiers than in the...

Conjunctive, Disjunctive, Negative Objects and Generalized Quantification

Akiba, Ken

Pages: 73 –95

[This paper presents shadow theory, according to which, for every object of some type, σ – object in the broadest sense of the term, including truth values and functions – there is another object of the same type, the negative shadow of the object, and for every (finite or infinite) set of...

Quantifiers and Referential Use

Gómez-Torrente, Mario

Pages: 97 –124

[Referential uses of quantified determiner phrases other than descriptions have not been extensively considered. In this paper they are considered in some detail, and related to referential uses of descriptions. The first aim is to develop the observation that, contrary to the currently received...

Quantification and Logical Form

Iacona, Andrea

Pages: 125 –140

[This paper deals with the logical form of quantified sentences. Its purpose is to elucidate one plausible sense in which a considerably wide class of quantified sentences can be expressed in a classical first order language. Sections 7.1 and 7.2 provide some preliminary clarifications. Section...

Quantification with Intentional and with Intensional Verbs

Moltmann, Friederike

Pages: 141 –168

[Whether natural language permits quantification over ‘nonexistent’, intentional objects is subject of a major controversy, as is the nature of such entities themselves. This paper argues that certain constructions in natural language involving ‘intentional verbs’ such as ‘think of ’, ‘describe’,...

Life on the Range: Quine’s Thesis and Semantic Indeterminacy

Antonelli, G. Aldo

Pages: 171 –189

[This paper explores the ramifications of Quine’s Thesis that ontological commitment is determined on the basis of the range of quantified variables in light of a non-standard semantics for the first-order quantifiers analogous to Henkin’s general interpretations for second-order logic. On such a...

Chalmers, Quantifier Variance and Mathematicians’ Freedom

Berry, Sharon

Pages: 191 –219

[Philosophers of mathematics have been much struck by mathematicians’ apparent freedom to introduce new kinds of mathematical objects, such as complex numbers, sets and the objects and arrows of category theory. In this paper, I explore a way of using recent work on quantifier variance to explain...
