Fichte`s Legacy in Logic
... To carry through the spirit of Kant’s project, and to make good on his own early promise not to take logic for granted, Fichte here insists that logical theory must be thoroughly reconstructed in the light of the new accounts of knowledge and subjectivity inaugurated by Kant’s critical investigation ...

Polarizing Double-Negation Translations
... Gödel-Gentzen negative translation (Definition 2.3 above) removes many negations from translations and the polarization we give in Section 5 will even more. If we want to follow the pattern of Theorem 1 to show equiprovability (in the absence of cut), we can no longer systematically move formulæ fr ...

A game semantics for proof search: Preliminary results - LIX
... In the non-deterministic rewriting of neutral expressions, a switched expression does not rewrite. Such expressions represent expressions that are to be given to the other player to rewrite. To be more precise, we shall consider the question of whether or not the expression N can be rewritten to a s ...

We want the rules to preserve the truthfulness of what we are proving, i.e. generating from axioms via the rules. Rule ...

Propositional Logic - Department of Computer Science

If this search is successful, then the output of the algorithm should be • “yes, P is satisfiable”. If no such interpretation ...

Inquiry
An inquiry is any process that has the aim of augmenting knowledge, resolving doubt, or solving a problem. A theory of inquiry is an account of the various types of inquiry and a treatment of the ways that each type of inquiry achieves its aim.
