Abstract

This article is about the problem of the justification of basic logical laws. Starting from an exposition of Lewis Carroll’s regress, I show the inadequacy of dominant current approaches in the epistemology of logic: they are incapable of responding satisfyingly to the central problem raised by the regress. The realisation of this failure motivates the need to adopt a different perspective on our conception of logical laws. I suggest, in the last portion of the article, that we should follow a suggestion made by Paul Boghossian and look carefully at the primitivist conception of the foundations of logic, such as it is put forward by Aristotle.

Cet article porte, de façon générale, sur le problème de la justification des lois logiques de base. Il s’agit en premier lieu de montrer, en prenant comme point de départ la régression à l’infini de Lewis Carroll, que les approches contemporaines les plus en vue en épistémologie de la logique sont incapables de rendre compte de la légitimité de notre pratique inférentielle de base. Cet échec des perspectives traditionnelles motive la recherche d’une nouvelle approche. Je suggère, dans la dernière portion de l’article, qu’il serait profitable de suivre une proposition faite par Paul Boghossian et d’examiner attentivement la conception primitiviste d’Aristote concernant les fondements de la logique.
