چکیده

We consider first order modal logic C firstly defined by Carnap in “Meaning and Necessity” [1]. We prove elimination of nested modalities for this logic, which gives additionally the Skolem-Löwenheim theorem for C. We also evaluate the degree of unsolvability for C, by showing that it is exactly 0′. We compare this logic with the logics of Henkin quantifiers, Σ1 logic, and SO. We also shortly discuss properties of the logic C in finite models.

Algorithmic correspondence and completeness in modal logic. V. Recursive extensions of SQEMA

The previously introduced algorithm SQEMA computes first-order frame equivalents for modal formulae and also proves their canonicity. Here we extend SQEMA with an additional rule based on a recursive version of Ackermann’s lemma, which enables the algorithm to compute local frame equivalents of modal formulae in the extension of first-order logic with monadic least fixed-points FOμ. This comput...

Suhrawardi's Modal Syllogisms

Suhrawardi’s logic of the Hikmat al-Ishraq is basically modal. So to understand his modal logic one first has to know the non-modal part upon which his modal logic is built. In my previous paper ‘Suhrawardi on Syllogisms’(3) I discussed the former in detail. The present paper is an exposition of his treatment of modal syllogisms. On the basis of some reasonable existential presuppositi...

From Frege and Russell to Carnap: Logic and Logicism in the 1920s

Rudolf Carnap was a remarkably productive thinker and writer, making contributions on a variety of philosophical topics. As a result, he is a different philosopher for different audiences: For the general public (insofar as it knows him), he is the author of Scheinprobleme in der Philosophie (1928a), Wissenschaftliche Weltauffassung (Hahn, Neurath & Carnap 1929), and "Überwindung der Metaphysik...

Line-Based Affine Reasoning in Euclidean Plane

We consider the binary relations of parallelism and convergence between lines in a 2-dimensional affine space. Associating with parallelism and convergence the binary predicates P and C and the modal connectives [P ] and [C], we consider a first-order theory based on these predicates and a modal logic based on these modal connectives. We investigate the axiomatization/completeness and the decid...

Michael Kremer Marti on Descriptions in Carnap ’ S S 2

This note is a friendly amendment to Marti’s analysis of the failure of Føllesdal’s argument that modal distinctions collapse in Carnap’s logic S2. Føllesdal’s argument turns on the treatment of descriptions. Marti considers how modal descriptions, which Carnap banned, might be handled; she adopts an approach which blocks Føllesdal’s argument, but requires a separate treatment of non-modal desc...
