For at least one century, the study of logical form has been widely adopted as a method of investigation, relying on its capacity to reveal the structure of thoughts or the constitution of facts. This book focuses on the very idea of logical form, which is directly relevant to any principled reflection on that method. Its central thesis is that there is no such thing as a correct answer to the question of what is logical form: two significantly different notions of logical form are needed to fulfill two major theoretical roles that pertain respectively to logic and to semantics. This thesis has a negative and a positive side. The negative side is that a deeply rooted presumption about logical form turns out to be overly optimistic: there is no unique notion of logical form that can play both roles. The positive side is that the distinction between two notions of logical form, once properly spelled out, sheds light on some fundamental issues concerning the relation between logic and language. 410 0$aSynthese Library, Studies in Epistemology, Logic, Methodology, and Philosophy of Science,$x2542-8292 ;$v393 606 $aLogic 606 $aSemiotics 606 $aLanguage and languages$xPhilosophy 606 $aPhilosophy$xHistory 606 $aMachine theory 606 $aLogic 606 $aSemiotics 606 $aPhilosophy of Language 606 $aHistory of Philosophy 606 $aFormal Languages and Automata Theory 615 0$aLogic. 615 0$aSemiotics. 615 0$aLanguage and languages$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aPhilosophy$xHistory. 615 0$aMachine theory. 615 14$aLogic. 615 24$aSemiotics. 615 24$aPhilosophy of Language. 615 24$aHistory of Philosophy. 615 24$aFormal Languages and Automata Theory. 676 $a160 700 $aIacona$b Andrea$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0326358 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910300629203321 996 $aLogical Form$92124607 997 $aUNINA
