| Abstract | Knowledge of philosophy exists only to the extent that there are logics of metaphysics, logics of ethics and logics of epistemology. One thus commits the monologic fallacy by committing oneself to the position that there is only one correct logic. Applications of modal logics to metaphysics in order to prove existence theorems in philosophy of religion are better when done without appeal to KT, K4 or K5. Logical constructivism is akin to constructivist metaphysical theories of mathematical objects in applying Ockham's razor to the logic used to construct existence theorems in metaphysics. |
