Categoricity and Negation. A Note on Kripke’s Affirmativism
In The Logica Yearbook 2018. London: College Publications. pp. 57-66 (2019)
Abstract
We argue that, if taken seriously, Kripke's view that a language for science can dispense with a negation operator is to be rejected. Part of the argument is a proof that positive logic, i.e., classical propositional logic without negation, is not categorical.
