À la Recherche du Temps Perdu
In dialogues like Theatetus , Phaedo and Sophist Plato seems explicitly interested in the connection between saying something about something, or denying something of something, and the being, or non-being of that thing. One thing Plato does make clear in those dialogues is that the truth or falsity of what is said is intimately correlated with the way things are or are not. In 1910 and 1912 Bertnard Russell held that truth and falsehood are prop…

Bare facts and naked truths: A New Correspondence Theory of Truth
The very idea of truth as a substantial and meaningful concept has been under attack recently from advocates of New Age and postmodern theories. In this book Englebretsen defends the notions of truth and objectivity as key to the scientific view of the natural world and presents an original defence of the 'commonsense' correspondence theory of truth." "Englebretsen's approach overcomes the traditional difficulties of correspondence theories of tr…

Religious discourse and Sommers' theory of truth: A response to Hans H. Penner
Plus and Minus
Este artículo consiste en una introducción a los elementos de un lenguaje formal natural y claro (que por primera vez vislumbró F. Sommers). Mediante un sencillo algoritmo basado en la suma algebraica, este lenguaje se convierte en una importante herramienta con la fuerza necesaria para desafiar la lógica de predicados estándar. [Traducción de Gabriela Montes de Oca Y.]
La théorie des catégories de Sommers: Une nouvelle introduction
Les travaux de Fred Sommers dans le domaine de l'ontologie (l'étude des catégories) ont été l'objet, jusqu'à présent, de beaucoup moins d'attention critique qu'ils ne sont aptes à en susciter. C'est au cours des années soixante que Sommers a élaboré sa théorie et qu'il l'a rendue publique par le moyen d'une série d'articles et de conférences. Bien que ses travaux aient alors fait l'objet de quelques critiques ou commentaires, ils ont, depuis, gén…

The square of opposition.
Aristotle's View In the Organon Aristotle recognized that a statement could be denied in more than one way. The place of the Greek ov, the Latin non, and the English not in a statement determines how it is to be denied. As it turns out, none of these modes of denial is rendered by the modern logician's notion of propositional negation. Indeed, for Aristotle only two sorts of things can be denied: (i)terms themselves (e.g., from 'man' we get 'not-…

Sommers' Theory and the Paradox of Confirmation
In order to confirm any statement of the form (a) A are B we consider a sufficiently large number of A in order to check them for having or failing to have property B. But logic leads us to believe that A are B is equivalent to (b) non-B are non-A. If this is so then it seems reasonable to suppose that we confirm (a) and (b) in the same way. Whatever set of things we consider for confirming one must be the same set that we consider for the other.…
