Formalization in philosophy
Bulletin of Symbolic Logic 6 (2):162-175 (2000)
Abstract
The advantages and disadvantages of formalization in philosophy are summarized. It is concluded that formalized philosophy is an endangered speciality that needs to be revitalized and to increase its interactions with non-formalized philosophy. The enigmatic style that is common in philosophical logic must give way to explicit discussions of the problematic relationship between formal models and the philosophical concepts and issues that motivated their developmentAuthor's Profile
