Question

A "deviant" form of this discipline developed by Jan Łukasiewicz ("woo-kuh-SHAY-vitch") was inspired by Aristotle's sea-battle scenario. As a teenager, Saul Kripke introduced models (20[1])for a form (20[1])of this discipline (20[1])concerning applicability in some versus all possible worlds. (20[1])A many-valued form of this discipline (20[1])is used (20[1])to analyze vagueness. (20[1]0[1])In this philosophical discipline, the symbols (20[1])of a backwards (*) E and an (10[1])upside-down (10[6])A (10[5])are used (10[1])to represent (10[2])quantifiers. (10[4]0[1])In classical forms (10[1])of this field, bivalence (10[1])implies the "law of the excluded middle." (10[2])This (10[1])discipline's (0[1])"zeroth-order" form (10[1])concerns propositions (10[1])and (10[1])connectives (10[1])like NOT and OR. (10[1])For 10 points, what field (10[1])of philosophy concerns the use of inductive and deductive (10[1])reasoning? ■END■ (10[1]0[1])

ANSWER: logic [accept zeroth-order logic; accept fuzzy logic; accept first-order logic or predicate logic; accept modal logic; accept three-valued logic or trivalent logic; prompt on mathematics or philosophy of mathematics]
