Titre : "The laws of logic as laws of nature"
Résumé : Logic's methodology and epistemology differ from those of other sciences only in degree, not in kind. This is the anti-exceptionalist agenda for logic, developed in recent work in the philosophy of logic. Anti-exceptionalism tends to share a focus on logical theories and theory-choice, rather than on the justification of individual laws of logic. Nonetheless, logical theories are generally taken to include such laws, arguably in a capacity not unlike the laws of other sciences. This paper examines the viability of anti-exceptionalist conceptions of logical laws. It introduces a metaphysical anti-exceptionalism that complements its epistemological counterpart: nomic anti-exceptionalism.
