    What is a genuine intuitionistic notion of falsity?

    Get PDF
    I highlight the importance of the notion of falsity for a semantical consideration of intuitionistic logic. One can find two principal (and non-equivalent) versions of such a notion in the literature, namely, falsity as non-truth and falsity as truth of a negative proposition. I argue in favor of the first version as the genuine intuitionistic notion of falsity

    Is time reversible?

    Get PDF
    This paper presents an elementary logical proof of time irreversibility. To this effect, we construct a simple mathematical model of a process, which can demonstrably be shown to be irreversible in the sense that it cannot be reproduced in a backward direction by the very conditions of its construction. To model this process we employ a puzzle problem (paradox) referred to in the literature as “Austin’s Dog” or “Trojan Fly”

    The Nature of Scientific Philosophy

    Get PDF
    The goal of this paper is to explain the nature of philosophy as a distinct science with its own subject-matter. This is achieved through a comparative analysis of mathematical and philosophical knowledge that reveals a profound similarity between mathematics and philosophy as mutually complementary sciences exploring the field of abstract entities that can be comprehended only by purely a priori theoretical inquiry. By considering this complementarity, a general definition of philosophy can be obtained by dualizing the traditional Aristotelian definition of mathematics as the “science of quantity”. Philosophy should thus be interpreted as an a priori science of the pure qualitative attributes of being
