15Contra-argumento/ContraejemploIn Luis Vega and Paula Olmos (ed.), Compendio de Lógica, Argumentación y Retórica, Editorial Trotta. pp. 137--141. 2011.A universal proposition is shown false by a known counterexample. A premise-conclusion argument is shown invalid by a known counterargument. The failure to distinguish counterexample from counterargument is like the failure to distinguish falsehood from invalidity.

13Aristotle's Logic at the University of buffalo's Department of PhilosophyIdeas Y Valores 58 (140): 99-117. 2009.We begin with an introductory overview of contributions made by more than twenty scholars associated with the Philosophy Department at the University of Buffalo during the last half-century to our understanding and evaluation of Aristotle's logic. More well-known developments are merely mentioned in order to make room to focus on issues at the center of attention from the beginning: existential import and, more generally, the analysis of categorical propositions. I include a list of the UB schol…Read more

13Logic in The 21st Century: Advice For Young LogiciansFelsefe Arkivi 51 309-319. 2019.By logic I mean the subject Aristotle started in Prior Analytics. Logic studies demonstration and everything necessary for demonstration, and also many things that come to mind in the course of such studies—including axiomatic method as described in my short “Axiomatic method”. By young I mean less than about 40 years old. By logicians I mean people who have dedicated their lives to advancing and criticizing logic: to discovering and establishing new additions and also to clarifying and correcti…Read more

12Aritmética Semántica: un prefacioAgora 39 (1). 2020.La teoría de números, o la aritmética pura, concierne a los números naturales mismos, no a la notación usada, y en particular no a los numerales. La teoría de ristras, o la sintaxis pura, concierne a los numerales como ristras de caracteres «no-interpretados», al margen de los números que puedan denotar cuando son usados. La teoría de los números es puramente aritmética, la teoría de ristras es puramente sintáctica… en tanto se considere el universo del discurso solo. La aritmética semántica es …Read more

5The Absence of Multiple Universes of Discourse in the 1936 Tarski Consequence-Definition PaperIn Urszula Wybraniec-Skardowska & Ángel Garrido (eds.), The Lvov-Warsaw School. Past and Present, Springer- Birkhauser,. pp. 405-424. 2018.This paper discusses the history of the confusion and controversies over whether the definition of consequence presented in the 11-page Tarski consequence-definition paper is based on a monistic fixed-universe framework—like Begriffsschrift and Principia Mathematica. Monistic fixed-universe frameworks, common in pre-WWII logic, keep the range of the individual variables fixed as ‘the class of all individuals’. The contrary alternative is that the definition is predicated on a pluralistic multipl…Read more
