    Explain, as clearly as possible, John Stuart Mill's view of arithmetic put forward in his book "A System of Logic" (Book II, Chapter 6) and then present how Gottlob Frege argues against Mill's view in his book entitled "The foundations of Arithmetic". Mill's Argument: Book 2; Chap. 6 We need axioms and definitions in order to structure an argument that points to certainty; each theorem must be solidly grounded on the other. Axioms are solidly grounded on experience. They are the most universal

    Haack On Fuzzy Logic ABSTRACT: Much of the progress in modern logic beyond Aristotle is due to the invention of a precise and powerful formalism, and this is why Haack is reluctant to weaken it. What motivates her to regard deviant and fuzzy logic as extensions rather than rivals of classical logic is its demonstrated capacity for refinement and progress. Thus she sharply distinguishes between a logic dealing with fuzzy concepts (she accepts), and one which is itself fuzzy, i.e., where "true"

    events based on past event is higher, we work on this theory of logic, observation, and proof. According to Hume there are two kinds of objects of knowledge. There are relations of ideas which are relations between things that can be in a way proven, discoverable, or demonstrable, something as easy as proving that 4+4=8. Then there is matter of fact which are those ideas and theory that is not visible and requires close observation and logic to determine why those things happen. This type of reasoning

    Contradictions in Fuzzy Logic Kamp ([qtd. in Sauerland]) argue that it is absurd that p ∧ p has the same truth value as p ∧ ¬p if p is 0.5, and the latter statement cannot have a truth value of 0.5, becauses "how could a logical contradiction be true to any degree?" (qtd. in Sauerland 187). Sauerland ([year]) however thinks that this is not the case: if p contains a vague variable, the statement does not need to be a contradiction to be intuitive, e.g. What I did was smart and not smart, or Bea

    thinking, decision-making, and logic form the backbone of intelligence. Regardless of what career path I may take, and where that path leads, I will continually rely on the skill set and mental habits that comprise critical thinking and logic.
