How first order is first order logic?
Juliette Kennedy, University of Helsinki

Fundamental to the practice of logic is the dogma regarding the first order=
/second order logic distinction, namely that it is ironclad. Was it always =
so? The emergence of the set theoretic paradigm is an interesting test case=
. Early workers in foundations generally used higher order systems in the f=
orm of type theory; but then higher order systems were gradually abandoned =
in favour of first order set theory=97a transition that was completed, more=
 or less, by the 1930s.

In this talk I will look at first order logic from various points of view, =
arguing that the distinction between first order and higher order logics, s=
uch as second order logic, is somewhat context dependent. From the philosop=
hical or foundational point of view this complicates the picture of first o=
rder logic as a canonical logic.

The seminar takes place via Zoom:
