The Metaphysical Interpretation of Logical Truth
The notion of logical truth has a wide variety of different uses, hence it is not surprising that it can be interpreted in different ways.

متن کاملSubstantive assumptions in interaction: a logical perspective
In this paper we study substantive assumptions in social interaction.
