| Conjunction: In logic, a conjunction is an operator that takes two propositions as input and produces a single proposition as output. The output proposition is true if and only if both of the input propositions are true. The symbol for conjunction is usually "∧" (or "and" in natural language). See also Disjunction._____________Annotation: The above characterizations of concepts are neither definitions nor exhausting presentations of problems related to them.

I 296 And/sign/mention/use/Tugendhat: "A and B": on the side of the sign, we do not have to expect the term "p and q", but the expression ’that p and that q". This is an analogy, in fact. Moreover it is in need of a completion by a predicate. >Logical connectives, >Levels, >Logical constants, >That-clauses, >States of affairs. I 297 but the state of affairs that p and the st.o.a. that q are not composed - we need a more general term, that somehow contains composition, but goes beyond it. I 297 Conjunction/Tugendhat: "and" is not connecting objects nor states of affairs - it combines nothing at all. Cf. >Compositionality, >Complexes._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
