SOME CRITICAL NOTES ON SALERNO’S EPISTEMIC MOTIVATIONS FOR LOGICAL REVISIONISM

SOME CRITICAL NOTES ON SALERNO’S EPISTEMIC MOTIVATIONS FOR LOGICAL REVISIONISM Joseph Salerno has attempted to provide an account of how anti-realist views concerning the nature of truth motivate intuitionistic revisions of logic. I will show that Salerno’s motivations can succeed granting the principles of inference that he assumes, but that further and more epistemically immodest presuppositions will be required. It is doubtful if a case resting upon these added presuppositions can succeed.

Abstract

Joseph Salerno has attempted to provide an account of how anti-realist views concerning the nature of truth motivate intuitionistic revisions of logic. I will show that Salerno’s motivations can succeed granting the principles of inference that he assumes, but that further and more epistemically immodest presuppositions will be required. It is doubtful if a case resting upon these added presuppositions can succeed. Keywords: Salerno, antirealism, intuitionism, logical revisionism, Fitch, knowability
