Abstract

GALLOVICH, Camila. Application and Adoption of Logical Rules. Anal. filos. [online]. 2022, vol.42, n.1, pp.105-125.  Epub Jan 01, 2022. ISSN 1851-9636.  http://dx.doi.org/10.36446/af.2022.401.

Exceptionalism about logic assumes that logic has a privileged epistemological status, is normative, and cannot be revised. On the other hand, anti-exceptionalism rejects those particular traits. Recently, it has been suggested that the Adoption Problem of logical rules traverses the discussion between both positions. In this paper, I argue that that is not the case. In particular, I hold that if the Adoption Problem is a crucial threat to logic as a discipline, anti-exceptionalism about logic must be an incorrect position. Otherwise, exceptionalism about logic must be incorrect. In addition, I assess some consequences that follow from the previous analysis concerning the discussion on monism and pluralism about logic.

Keywords : Adoption Problem; Canonical Application; Anti-exceptionalism; Normativity.
