Extract

The aim of this contribution is to trace the transformation of the meanings of certain terms as the order of the logics in which they appear is raised. By “order of the logic” we simply refer to the number of truth-values characterizing the logic, so that if the number of truth values shows symptoms of traveling to infinity we may speak of the goal as a logic of infinite order.

2 “Doubtful” is used not in the sense of undetermined as to truth or falsity, but merely to give a third truth value. In the same way T and F do not have to stand strictly for “true” and “false.”
