Credits (ECTS): 3
LM-OT – Specialization in Philosophy
Year: 1st–2nd
Term: 1st
Biennially – a.y. 2022-23
Course held in Italian
Tracing some of the historical phases in the development of logic, the course will examine the necessity – prophetically announced by Husserl – of a new paradigm capable of corresponding to new empirical evidence and to the evolution of scientific theories.
Lessons will be grouped into four modular themes:
- The philosophical paradigm: from the origins of logic as a science in Aristotle to the medieval dialectics.
- The algebraic paradigm: Leibnitz, Boole, Frege
- Paradoxes and crises: Gödel and indecidability. Mereology as the point of departure for a new paradigm. Husserl, Lesniewski.
- The present search for an “open”, inductive logic. Logic as formal ontology. The unfolding of a “trinitarian” logic.
