T or F 5. Aristotelian logic was attacked on the ground that it was too narrow.

T or F 6. Aristotelian logic was attacked on the ground that it was too broad.

T or F 7. Hegelian logic was attacked on the ground that it was not logic at all but mathematics.

T or F 8. Hegelian logic was attacked on the ground that it was not logic at all but psychology.

T or F 9. Aristotle was concerned with the ways that different types of conclusions can be combined so as to yield valid judgements.

T or F 10. Aristotle was concerned with the ways that different types of judgements can be combined so as to yield valid conclusions.

T or F 11. According to Aristotle all judgements without failure are predicative.

T or F 12. According to Aristotle no judgements are predicative.

T or F 13. According to Aristotle only some judgements are predicative.

14. a. What is the standard unit of reasoning for Aristotle?

b. What are the parts of the standard unit of reasoning?

15. What is a "reductio ad absurdum" argument?

T or F 16. When a reductio strategy was applied to the parallel lines postulate in geometry a contradiction was generated.

T or F 18. Non euclidean geometries with an internally consistent set of theorems can be generated.

T or F 19. Space is only conceivable as a 3 dimensional box.

T or F 20. Geometry is the science of space.

T or F 21. Geometry is not the science of space.

T or F 22. The line between mathematics and logic is arbitrary.

T or F 23. What is wrong with the way that Aristotelian logic is that it fails to bring out important distinctions between assertions.142

T or F 24. Aristotle assumed that all logical judgements could be in the subject predicate form.

T or F 38. The mathematician can create things at will he can only discover what is there and give it a name.

T or F 39. Frege's object was to awaken a desire for stricter inquiry.

T or F 40. Frege appeals to philosophers in the analytic tradition because of the demand for clarity, the emphasis upon rigor and the insistence on finding a firm base before making any advance.147

T or F 41. Sensations are of no concern to arithmetic.

T or F 42. Propositions can become untrue when I shut my eyes.148.

T or F 43. Mathematical thinking is "thinking" only because the marks the mathematician manipulates are signs for real entities and because the manipulation of these marks reflects the real nature of these real entities.

T or F 44. Numbers are nonsensible objects.149

T or F 45. According to Frege the distinction between subject and predicate finds no place in representing judgements. 151

T or F 46. According to Frege the distinction between subject and predicate makes the most important difference for representing judgements. 151

On Sense and Reference

T or F 47. a=a and a=b are statements with differing cognitive value.

158x

T or F 48. Statements of the form a=a are a priori.

T or F 49.Statements of the form a=a are a priori, analytic.

T or F 50. Statements of the form a=b often contain important extensions of knowledge.

T or F 51. Statements of the form a=b often contain important extensions of knowledge and can always be established a priori.

T or F 52. Statements of the form a=b often contain important extensions of knowledge and cannot always be established a priori.

T or F 53. The problem with identity statements is if we assume that we can identify the meaning of a proper name with the object it stands for (its reference) 2 proper names referring to the same thing would have the same meaning.

54.If "The Morning Star"

"The Evening Star"

"Venus" all name the same thing160

T or F a.The Morning Star is Venus is True.

T or F b.The Evening Star is Venus is True.

T or F c.The Morning Star is The Evening Star is True.

T or F d.Venus is Venus is True.

T or F e.The Morning Star is The Morning Star is False.

T or F f.The Evening Star is The Morning Star is False.

T or F g.Venus is Venus is False.

T or F h.The Morning Star is The Evening Star is False.

T or F i.Venus is The Evening Star is True.

T or F j.Venus is The Evening Star is False.

T or F 55.Frege’s puzzle is how can an identity statement of the form a=b if true be any more informative than the trivialities "a=a" and "b=b"?
