Abstract

Can we adopt a rule of inference as if it were a hypothesis and infer something by virtue of the rule? Can we revise our logical rules and principles considering the available evidence? Logical anti-exceptionalism challenges the idea that logic is exceptional. Logic and all other scientific theories are connected. However, the challenge of adoption posed by Kripke and Padró impose limits on this conception. This section explores different aspects related to the impossibility of adopting rules, anti-exceptionalism, revision and the normativity of logic.
