After a life-long despiction for math, I have decided finally that I owe a debt of gratitude.
Indicates that everything standing on top of naive set theory is also proven.
This paper brings up some important points about logic, e.g., mathematical logic, and also an inconsistence in logic as per Gödel's incompleteness theorems which state that there are mathematical truths that are not decidable or... more
We present results on the proof validation behaviors of sixteen U.S. undergraduates after taking an inquiry-based transition-to-proof course. Participants were interviewed individually towards the end of the course using the same protocol... more
Reasoning abilities of the learners and its development was well-discussed in the world of education. The higher the ability of the person to reason abstractly, the higher the probability that a person will effectively function in the... more
Educators have long sought to develop critical thinking ability and open-mindedness in their students, as well as to measure this development. Physiological and psychological research studies on practitioners of the Transcendental... more
Öz: Doğru düşünme kural ve formlarının bilgisi ya da düşünme yasalarının bilimi olarak tanımlanan mantık, öğrencilere doğru düşünmenin öğretilmesi konusunda başvurulması gereken alanlardan birisi olarak karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Mantıksal... more
A long tradition of research on schizophrenia has considered defects in logical reasoning one of the core features of this mental disorder. According to this view, reasoning in schizophrenia is severely impaired. Nevertheless, an... more

The well-known necessary-consequence/necessary-consequent ambiguity—a species of segmentation, scope, and structural ambiguities—is found in conditional sentences such as: (A) If zero is oblong, then necessarily some square is oblong. A... more
"Lisanyuk Elena. Ad baculums are no arguments. Ad baculum argument is traditionally considered to be argumentation fallacy, but the reasons of its fallaciousness have not been fully studied yet. In my paper, I am intended to show that... more

"ABSTRACT: This study assumes the subject's pursuit of meaning is generally incapacitating and should be suspended. It aims to demonstrate how such a suspension is theoretically accomplished by utilizing Lacan's formulae of... more
An explication of the significance and function of the syllogism in Hegel's philosophy, specifically as presented in the Encyclopaedia Logic.
This article is focused on answering the question to what extent one can be a sceptic. Sextus Empiricus’s Outlines of Scepticism serves as a guide. In section 1, it is investigated whether three logical laws have a certain foundation or... more
The purpose of the present research was to develop a game, and then to identify and organize the actions of the players while playing this game and solving puzzles. More specifically, we intended to investigate which mathematical... more
This paper shows why the non-trivial zeros of the Riemann zeta function ζ must always be on the critical line Re(s) = 1/2 and not anywhere else on the critical strip bounded by Re(s) = 0 and Re(s) = 1, thus affirming the validity of the... more
Основная цель настоящей работы — показать, что логика является эффективным средством анализа аргументации в нормативных контекстах, поскольку, во-первых, обладает арсеналом инструментов для изучения формальных аспектов нормативных... more
I argue against inferentialism about logic. First, I argue against an analogy between logic and chess, before considering a more basic objection to stipulating inference rules as a way of establishing the meaning of logical constants. The... more
This talk was given at the Toronto Psychoanalytic Society on July 13, 2014.
The single most important statement that can be made with regard to the logical status of human and physical geographical reasoning is that it belongs to the class of non-monotonic reasoning. In other words, geographical reasoning is... more
Contemporary accounts of the possession conditions for basic logical concepts rely on either the subject being primitively compelled by transitions that are isomorphic to the introduction and elimination rules for the logical constant or... more
This paper shows why the non-trivial zeros of the Riemann zeta function ζ will always be on the critical line Re(s) = 1/2 and not anywhere else on the critical strip bounded by Re(s) = 0 and Re(s) = 1, thus affirming the validity of the... more
Edilaine Lins GOUVEIA, Antonio ROAZZI, David P. O’BRIEN, Karina MOUTINHO & Maria da Graça B. B. DIAS RESUMO; Nos últimos anos, tem havido muito debate acerca da existência ou não de uma lógica mental. Essa idéia tem sofrido inúmeros... more

The questions in this section are based on the reasoning contained in brief statements or passages. For some questions, more than one of the choices could conceivably answer the question. However, you are to choose the best answer; that... more
This paper aims the aim of the present study is to ascertain the extend of logical reasoning of standard IX students as predictor of their academic performance in mathematics and to find out the significant relationship between Logical... more
Abstract At a time in the history of mankind when man became aware of his environment the changes he observed in the phenomena prompted him to wonder. Then he tried to speculate on what could be at the base of reality. This quest for... more
ABSTRACT It is truism in human life that man lives in an odd world in which he strives to live a religious life, but human value play a very contrary role to the quest for re religiosity. Consequently it becomes almost impossible to... more
To learn to write well-reasoned persuasive arguments, students need in situ help thinking through the complexity and complications of an issue, making inferences based on evidence, and hierarchically grouping and logically sequencing... more
Existence and uniqueness are standard questions in cases where definite descriptions are used. In his Proslogion Anselm of Canterbury uses definite and non-definite descriptions of God: He is " id/aliquid quo maius cogitari non potest "... more
Inspired by Bermúdez's notion of proto-logic, I would like to fathom what the true proto-logic could be like. But this will be approached only in a negative way of figuring out what it could not be. I shall argue that it could not be... more
Nel contesto Mi sembra che stia accadendo questo, ditemi se siete d'accordo. In giro si sente dire: "Ci sta". È un nuovo modo per dire "è normale", "lo trovo giusto", "naturale", "sono d'accordo". Tutti noi troviamo naturale inserire un... more

Four major writings providing perspective on epistemology.
In memory of Alfred Tarski 1901-1983 and Alonzo Church 1903-1995 on the 40th anniversary of their classic works: Logic, Semantics, Metamathematics and Introduction to Mathematical Logic. Information-theoretic approaches [114] to... more
