- Title
The Politics of Disjunction.
- Authors
PRATT, SCOTT L.
- Abstract
The article discusses the influence of U.S. philosopher Josiah Royce on 20th-century logic through his joining of logic and idealism. In particular, Royce's work on disjunction in logic is discussed. Later 20th-century debates among logicians about the exact definition of disjunction are discussed, and then related back to Royce's System Σ, described in his 1905 paper on the relation of the principles of logic to the foundations of geometry. Also discussed is how Royce's idealist logic offers a place for both agency and purpose.
