Thus we see a sense in which the phenomenon of structural completeness is related to a sort of semantic completeness: A structurally incomplete logic will be incomplete with respect to the most naive procedural reading of its connectives. It also happens that structural completeness bears a precise ...

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.
