| Logic: logic is the doctrine of the admissibility or inadmissibility of relations between statements and thus the validity of the compositions of these statements. In particular, the question is whether conclusions can be obtained from certain presuppositions such as premises or antecedents. Logical formulas are not interpreted at first. Only the interpretation, i. e. the insertion of values, e.g. objects instead of the free variables, makes the question of their truth meaningful._____________Annotation: The above characterizations of concepts are neither definitions nor exhausting presentations of problems related to them. Instead, they are intended to give a short introduction to the contributions below. – Lexicon of Arguments. | |||

| I 258 Definition logic/Mates: theory of conlcusion relation. Task: to find general laws about what follows from what - correct thinking is not a contribution to logic. --- I 260 Logic/Aristotle/Mates: no yet a distinction mention/use - it is the same: if a thing is contained in another, and when each is stated of the other. --- I 261 First clear use of variables in history - for these names are used - variables/Stoics: "the first", "the second", etc. (unlike Aristotle). --- I 262 "Zukommen"/Aristotle Goes in both directions - which shows that there is no distinction between concept and object. --- I 265 Terms for "Zukommen" are nouns, sensual beings, human, for "Nicht Zukommen" substance, sensual being, number. --- I 281 Logic/Hobbes/Mates: influential (misleading) Argument: necessary truths would just come about through the random way how people like to use their words._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
