"Byzantine diagrams are originated by Byzantine scholars in the early modern period to use as tools for teaching and studying Aristotelian logic. This paper presents pioneering work on employing Byzantine diagrams for checking syllogistic validity through reduction."
"In the following essay, which is in four parts, it is what is considered the informal-fallacy literature that will be reviewed. Part 1 is an introduction to the core fallacies as brought to us by the tradition of the textbooks. Part 2 reviews the history of the development of the conceptions of fallacies as it is found from Aristotle to Copi. Part 3 surveys some of the most recent innovative research on fallacies, and Part 4 considers some of the current research topics in fallacy theory."
"I hope that by the end of this video you'll get a better understanding of what a logical fallacy is, and why we might want to avoid them. But also why in some contexts, what might seem to be fallacious reasoning, might actually be much more defensible than previously thought." https://youtu.be/PthVXsLEqh8#Video#Essay#Philosophy#Fallacies#Logic @philosophy [2]

Am I the only one who unequivocally thinks that philosophy has made progress? Perhaps I have a different definition of what progress means, but surely I can't be the only one?
The number of theories and arguments that philosophers uncovered, as well as the clarity and breadth of their analyses, is certainly progress.
"Logic" is used to carry many different, but associated, meanings. Its formal meaning usually refers to the discipline that allows us to examine an argument, and conclude that its structure is such that it can deliver a deduced and reliable conclusion when provided with sound premises.
In everyday usage, we often say "logic" when we are actually referring to Reason. I blame Mr Spock for that... 😐
Is there any good soul here who has access to this #book and could lend me a hand with a quote from it?
Ernst Steinkellner (ed.). 2016.

"After introducing plural logic and its main applications, the book provides a systematic analysis of the relation between this logic and other theoretical frameworks such as set theory, mereology, higher-order logic, and modal logic."
