Philosophical logic

From Free net encyclopedia

Philosophical logic is the application of formal logical techniques to problems that concern philosophers. It should be contrasted with mathematical logic, which might be characterized as the application of formal logical techniques to problems that concern mathematicians. However, since the problems that concern philosophers and the problems that concern mathematicians sometimes overlap, philosophical and mathematical logic sometimes overlap as well.

Philosophical logic is often confused with philosophy of logic, the field of philosophy that is concerned with the nature and justification of formal logical systems.
