|
The logic of metaphysical necessity is S5
|
5. Theory of Logic / B. Logical Consequence / 1. Logical Consequence
|
12195
|
Soundness in argument varies with context, and may be achieved very informally indeed
|
|
12199
|
There is a modal element in consequence, in assessing reasoning from suppositions
|
|
12201
|
We reject deductions by bad consequence, so logical consequence can't be deduction
|
5. Theory of Logic / D. Assumptions for Logic / 3. Contradiction
|
12194
|
Contradictions include 'This is red and not coloured', as well as the formal 'B and not-B'
|
5. Theory of Logic / H. Proof Systems / 2. Axiomatic Proof
|
12198
|
Geometrical axioms in logic are nowadays replaced by inference rules (which imply the logical truths)
|
10. Modality / A. Necessity / 3. Types of Necessity
|
14532
|
A distinctive type of necessity is found in logical consequence [Hale/Hoffmann,A]
|
10. Modality / A. Necessity / 6. Logical Necessity
|
12193
|
Logical necessity is when 'necessarily A' implies 'not-A is contradictory'
|
|
12200
|
A logically necessary statement need not be a priori, as it could be unknowable
|
|
12202
|
Narrow non-modal logical necessity may be metaphysical, but real logical necessity is not
|
10. Modality / E. Possible worlds / 1. Possible Worlds / e. Against possible worlds
|
12203
|
If a world is a fully determinate way things could have been, can anyone consider such a thing?
