- Title
Why Logical Revisabilism Is Wrong.
- Authors

- Abstract
The legacy of logical revisabilism is a hot issue in the philosophy of logic in China. Logical revisabilism holds that Quine is the source of this theory, and that non-classical logic is an instance of logical revision. Here, the reason for logical revisability is due to false descriptive elements in logic. Quine may not agree with logical revisabilism because he thinks that only first-order logic is the orthodox logic, there being no instance of logical revision. Logical revisabilists do not discuss the problem of logical revision on the same level. What's more, there is an unsolved problem with logical revisabilism, which is explaining "the false descriptive elements in logic."
