Varieties of Logic by Stewart Shapiro

Rate this book
Logical pluralism is the view that different logics are equally appropriate, or equally correct. Logical relativism is a pluralism according to which validity and logical consequence are relative to something. Stewart Shapiro explores various such views. He argues that the question of meaning shift is itself context-sensitive and interest-relative.

TERMINEI! Esse livro foi / é muito importante pra minha pesquisa, esclareceu as ideias e as organizou de forma didática. Como não especialista e quase leiga, não achei super facinho de ler, mesmo tendo 200 e poucas páginas demorei mais que o normal, porém é um dos livros mais acessíveis que achei sobre pluralismo lógico, recomendo demais.

É legalzinho que o autor parece conversar contigo, direto faz umas "bad puns" (que são divertidas) e chama sua atenção. Também vale notar que os exemplos são inclusivos, geralmente ele usa "she" para dar exemplos e falar de como alguém defende algo.

Ah, meio spoiler, mas a última frase deu uma leveza no final, e diz:

"The three of them may not be able to share all of their results with each other, in a straightforward homophonic manner, but that’s life."

recomendo 10/10
