... The sequence of wffs (w1, w2, …, wn) is called a proof (or deduction) of wn from a set of wffs Δ iff each wi in the sequence is either in Δ or can be inferred from a wff (or wffs) earlier in the sequence by using a valid rule of inference. If there is a proof of wn from Δ, we say that wn is a theore ...

George Boolos (1984, 1985) has extensively investigated plural quantification, as found in such locutions as the Geach-Kaplan sentence There are critics who admire only one another, and he found that their logic cannot be adequately formalized within the first-order predicate calculus. If we try to ...

... is true. Thus we need to show that a2 = a + (2 − 1)d. Since P (1) is true, we have a1 = a, and by the definition of an arithmetic sequence, a2 = a1 +d = a+d = a+(2−1)d. So P (2) is true. We now use the fact that P (2) is true to show that P (3) is true. Using the fact that a2 = a + (2 − 1)d, we show ...

... If I V (ϕ) = 1 then it is said that V is a model of ϕ, or that V satisfies ϕ; it is a “world” in which ϕ is true. A formula is said to be valid if it is true under all circumstances, that is, if every valuation is a model of ϕ: ϕ is valid if I V (ϕ) = 1 for all valuations V . For instance, it is ea ...
