Kurzbeschreibung des Projektes / Short description of the Project

The aim of this project is to mount a defence of the view that logic can, and in actual fact does, univocally and definitively answer questions about the validity of at least some inferences. Syntactically speaking, since the validity of an inference is a function of its adherence to, or violation of, a particular set of rules and, if present, axioms, this is tantamount to saying that some rules (and potentially axioms) are the right ones. If you like, they are the ones that would fill the pages of a book on the one true universal logic. More controversially, I argue that their rightness is determined by the world itself.
