Introduction Pragmatists declared their anti-Cartesianism at the first appearance of the movement, in Peirce’s series on cognition written for the Journal of Specu- lative Philosophy (1867–8). As is well known, the brilliant young scientist characterized Cartesian doubt as a “paper doubt”, by opposing it to sci- entists’ true “living doubt” (Peirce 1998 [1868], 115).1 Some readers have not understood the powerful novelty that his opposition to Cartesianism implies. According to Peirce, research does not proceed from skeptical, “paper” doubt. For Peirce, doubt is possible because of a previous cer- tainty, a position which is similar to the one held by Augustine (Augustine 1970). Research moves from one certainty to another; the abandonment of an initial certainty is only reasonable in the presence of a real and surprising phenomenon that alters one of the pillars on which it stands. -
The Unintended Interpretations of Intuitionistic Logic
THE UNINTENDED INTERPRETATIONS OF INTUITIONISTIC LOGIC Wim Ruitenburg Department of Mathematics, Statistics and Computer Science Marquette University Milwaukee, WI 53233 Abstract. We present an overview of the unintended interpretations of intuitionis- tic logic that arose after Heyting formalized the “observed regularities” in the use of formal parts of language, in particular, first-order logic and Heyting Arithmetic. We include unintended interpretations of some mild variations on “official” intuitionism, such as intuitionistic type theories with full comprehension and higher order logic without choice principles or not satisfying the right choice sequence properties. We conclude with remarks on the quest for a correct interpretation of intuitionistic logic. §1. The Origins of Intuitionistic Logic Intuitionism was more than twenty years old before A. Heyting produced the first complete axiomatizations for intuitionistic propositional and predicate logic: according to L. E. J. Brouwer, the founder of intuitionism, logic is secondary to mathematics. Some of Brouwer’s papers even suggest that formalization cannot be useful to intuitionism. One may wonder, then, whether intuitionistic logic should itself be regarded as an unintended interpretation of intuitionistic mathematics. I will not discuss Brouwer’s ideas in detail (on this, see [Brouwer 1975], [Hey- ting 1934, 1956]), but some aspects of his philosophy need to be highlighted here. According to Brouwer mathematics is an activity of the human mind, a product of languageless thought. One cannot be certain that language is a perfect reflection of this mental activity. This makes language an uncertain medium (see [van Stigt 1982] for more details on Brouwer’s ideas about language). In “De onbetrouwbaarheid der logische principes” ([Brouwer 1981], pp. -

VAUZEILLES (*) and A. STRAUSS (2) Communicated by J. E. PIN Abstract. - In this paper, we study the semantics of logic programs with the help of trivalued hgic, introduced by Girard in 1973. Trivalued sequent calculus enables to extend easily the results of classical SLD-resolution to trivalued logic. Moreover, if one allows négation in the head and in the body of Hom clauses, one obtains a natural semantics for such programs regarding these clauses as axioms of a theory written in the intuitionistic fragment of that logic. Finally^ we define in the same calculus an intuitionistic trivalued version of Clark's completion, which gives us a déclarative semantics for programs with négation in the body of the clauses, the évaluation method being SLDNF-resolution. Resumé. — Dans cet article, nous étudions la sémantique des programmes logiques à l'aide de la logique trivaluée^ introduite par Girard en 1973. -

We concentrate on the propositional calculus mostly, make some minor excursions to the predicate calculus and to the use of intuitionistic logic in intuitionistic formal systems, in particular Heyting Arithmetic. We have chosen a selection of topics that show various sides of intuitionistic logic. In no way we strive for a complete overview in this short course. Even though we approach the subject for the most part only formally, it is good to have a general introduction to intuitionism. -
