Logic Texts on Similarity - Dictionary of Arguments
II 60 Similarity/form/content/logic/Hoyningen-Huene: equality and diversity are part of the logical form, not of the content. --- Read III 105 Similarity analysis: a number of logical principles that are classically valid, fails here. For example, the Def Contraposition: that "If B, then not-A" from "if A, then not-B" follows. The similar world in which it rains can very well be one in which it rains only lightly. But the most similar world, in which it rains violently, cannot be one in which it does not rain at all. III 105f Similarity: But worlds in which Lewis is 2.02, 2.01, 2.005 meters tall are progressively similar to the real world, yet this sequence has no limit. >Similarity metrics/Lewis. III 111 Vs Similarity Theory: It makes all conditional sets with true if-and then-sentences true. But in this respect it is in error: many such conditional sentences are false. >Conditional, >Truth condition, >Truth-conditional semantics._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
