The Status of Logical Principles
What is the status of logical principles? Can they be revised? Can't they be revised rationally? What could be a reason for revision? Could there be empirical reasons to revise logic? Could paradoxes or the phenomenon of vagueness in natural language be a reason for revision? In this course we will look at the recent debate concerning these questions.
