The Problem of Logical Constants
The Bulletin of Symbolic Logic, 2002 AbstractThere have been several different and even opposed conceptions of the problem of logical constants, i.e., of the requirements that a good theory of logical constants ought to satisfy. This paper is in the first place a survey of these conceptions and a critique of the theories they have given rise to. A second aim of the paper is to sketch some

On the Completeness of Spider Diagrams Augmented with Constants [PDF]
, 2013 Diagrammatic reasoning can be described formally by a number of diagrammatic logics; spider diagrams are one of these, and are used for expressing logical statements about set membership and containment. Here, existing work on spider diagrams is extended

Russell, logicism, and the choice of logical constants.
Notre Dame Journal of Formal Logic, 1989 It is here argued that Russell's Principles of Mathematics contains an intriguing idea about how to demarcate logical concepts from nonlogical ones. On this view, implication and generality emerge as the two fundamental logical concepts. Russell's 1903 proposals for defining other logical concepts from these basic ones are examined and extended ...
