Logic and Hermeneutics a Century on from Davos

Abstract

While the profound transformation of Aristotelian logic in the 19^th century is well-known, the equally profound transformation in 20^th century logic, particularly compared to the previous century, is much less acknowledged. This transformation, though a topic explored by specialists, remains underrepresented in the broader philosophical mindset. Its most notable significance lies in the expansion of the formalization process conducted by logic beyond the realm of mathematics and into other forms of discourse, particularly those intrinsic to natural language. Given this profound shift in logic, it becomes imperative to reconsider the question of the relationship between logic and hermeneutics, ensuring due attention is given to this landscape.
