A brief introduction to Logic and its applications

Any logic that includes arithmetic could encode : “This statement is not provable”. Benoı̂t Viguier ...

Identity and Harmony revisited ∗ Stephen Read University of St Andrews

So an idea for a harmonious theory of identity is simple: since the elimination-rule for ‘=’ is the indiscernibility of identicals, the ground for asserting an identity must be the identity of indiscernibles.
