1 Aristotelian temporal logic: the sea battle. According to the square of oppositions, exactly one of it is the case that p and it is not the case that p is true. Either it is the case that there will be a sea battle tomorrow or it is not the case that there will be a sea battle tomorrow. Problematic for existence of free will, and for Aristotelian metaphysics. Core Logic 2005/06-1ab p. 3/3
2 The Master argument. Diodorus Cronus (IVth century BC). Assume that p is not the case. In the past, It will be the case that p is not the case was true. In the past, It will be the case that p is not the case was necessarily true. Therefore, in the past, It will be the case that p was impossible. Therefore, p is not possible. Ergo: Everything that is possible is true. Core Logic 2005/06-1ab p. 4/3
3 Megarians and Stoics. Socrates ( BC) Euclides (c.430-c.360 BC) Plato (c BC) Eubulides (IVth century) Stilpo (c.380-c.300 BC) Apollonius Cronus Diodorus Cronus (IVth century) Zeno of Citium (c BC) Cleanthes of Assos ( BC) Chrysippus of Soli (c BC) Core Logic 2005/06-1ab p. 5/3
4 Eubulides. Strongly opposed to Aristotle. Source of the seven Megarian paradoxes, among them the Liar. The Liar is attributed to Epimenides the Cretan (VIIth century BC); (Titus 1:12). Aulus Gellius, Noctes Atticae. Alessandro Garcea, Paradoxes in Aulus Gellius, Argumentation 17 (2003), p Graham Priest, The Hooded Man, Journal of Philosophical Logic 31 (2002), p Core Logic 2005/06-1ab p. 6/3
5 The seven Megarian paradoxes. The Liar. Is the man a liar who says that he tells lies? The concealed man. Do you know this man who is concealed? If you do not, you do not know your own father; for he it is who is concealed. The hooded man. You say that you know your brother. Yet that man who just came in with his head covered is your brother and you did not know him. Electra. Electra sees Orestes : she knows that Orestes is her brother, but does not know that the man she sees is Orestes; therefore she does know, and does not know, her brother at the same time. The Sorites / the heap. One grain of wheat does not make a heap. Adding one grain of wheat doesn t make a heap. The bald one. Pulling one hair out of a man s head will not make him bald, nor two, nor three, and so on till every hair in his head is pulled out. The horned one. You have what you have not lost. You have not lost horns, therefore you have horns. Core Logic 2005/06-1ab p. 7/3
6 Quarternio terminorum. I know my brother. I do not know the hooded man. The hooded man is my brother. I do not know my brother. know: know: I know a lot about X. I recognize X at sight (regardless of whether X is hooded or not). Every metal is a chemical element. Brass is a metal. Brass is a chemical element. Core Logic 2005/06-1ab p. 8/3
7 More shortcomings of syllogistics. Syllogistics is finitary and cannot deal with very simple propositional connectives: Every human being is a man or a woman. Every man is mortal. Every woman is mortal. Ergo... every human being is mortal. Core Logic 2005/06-1ab p. 9/3
8 Stoic Logic (1). Chrysippus of Soli (c BC) 118 works on logic, seven books on the Liar, inventor of propositional logic, nonstandard view of modal logic ( the impossible can follow from the possible ). Harry Ide, Chrysippus s response to Diodorus s master argument, History and Philosophy of Logic 13 (1992), p Core Logic 2005/06-1ab p. 10/3
9 Stoic Logic (2). Chrysippus Principles of Propositional Logic. If p, then q. But p, therefore q. If p, then q, But not q, therefore not p. Not both p and q. But p, therefore not q. Exactly one of p and q. But p, therefore not q. Either p or q. But not q, therefore p. Core Logic 2005/06-1ab p. 11/3
10 Hypothetical Syllogisms (1). Categorial propositions ( Every B is an A ) are very special propositions. Socrates is bald Attempt 1. Every socratizing animal is bald. If Socrates is bald, then Plato is bald. Attempt 2. Define predicates a Socrates-is-bald-situation and a Plato-is-bald-situation. Every Socrates-is-bold-situation is a Plato-is-bald-situation. Core Logic 2005/06-1ab p. 12/3
11 Hypothetical Syllogisms (2). Barbara becomes: AaB BaC AaC Every Socrates-is-bald-situation is a Plato-is-bald-situation Every Plato-is-bald-situation is a Aristotle-is-bald-situation Every Socrates-is-bald-situation is a Aristotle-is-bald-situation If Socrates is bald, then so is Plato. If Plato is bald, then so is Aristotle. If Socrates is bald, then so is Aristotle. Tempting: (p q & q r) (p r). Core Logic 2005/06-1ab p. 13/3
12 Hypothetical Syllogisms (3). A disjunction can be expressed by Every not-p-situation is a q-situation. Socrates is either a woman or a man. Every Socrates-is-not-a-woman-situation is a Socrates-is-a-man-situation. A negation can be expressed by Some not-p-situation is a not-p-situation. Socrates is not a woman. Some Socrates-is-not-a-woman-situation is a Socrates-is-not-a-woman-situation. Core Logic 2005/06-1ab p. 14/3
13 Hypothetical Syllogisms (4). Socrates is either a woman or a man. Socrates is not a woman. Socrates is a man. Every Socrates-is-not-a-woman-situation is a Socrates-is-a-man-situation. Some Socrates-is-not-a-woman-situation is a Socrates-is-not-a-woman-situation. Some Socrates-is-not-a-woman-situation is a Socrates-is-a-man-situation. Tempting: p q & p q. AaB BiC AiC. Core Logic 2005/06-1ab p. 15/3
14 Hypothetical Syllogisms (5). We have to be careful, as Boethius claims: If p, then if q, then r If q, then not r. Not p. Core Logic 2005/06-1ab p. 16/3
15 Neoplatonism. (Really old-fashioned) received opinion. The middle ages were Aristotelian, the rediscovery of Plato s works marked the beginnings of the Renaissance. But: until the XIIth century, Aristotle was only known via neoplatonistic scholars. Sources of neoplatonism. Plotinus ( ) Proclus ( ) Origen ( ) (ps) Dionysius Areopagita (c.500) S. Ambrose (c ) S. Augustine ( ) Porphyrius (232-c301) Boëthius (c ) Core Logic 2005/06-1ab p. 17/3

21 Logic in the Middle Ages. Peripatetic position: Logic is a preliminary to scientific inquiry. Stoic position: Logic is part of philosophy. In the Middle Ages: Logic as ars sermocinalis. (Part of the preliminary studies of the trivium.) Logic (in a broader sense) as central to important questions of philosophy, metaphysics and theology. Core Logic 2005/06-1ab p. 20/3
