British Logic in the Nineteenth Century | 2008

This chapter outlines the path that led MacColl from his notion of statement to his various proposals for innovating logic. MacColls philosophical ideas are based on a kind of instrumentalism, which is extended beyond both of the mainstream paradigms of formal logic; mathematics as logic (logicism) and logic as algebra. It is impossible to resist the temptation to compare MacColls contributions to science with his literary incursions. MacColl penned both one of the most conservative Victorian books on science fiction of his time and one of the most innovative proposals on logic of the 19 th century. MacColl gave preference to the propositional interpretation because of its generality and called it pure logic. The main connective in his pure logic is the conditional and accordingly his algebra contains a specific operator for this connective. Two main factors might have been determinant for the fact that his work fell into oblivion; one is related to technical issues, and the other to his philosophical position.

In this paper, we present a dynamic dialogical interpretation of the notion of symbolic existence proposed by Hugh MacColl in 1906 in his book Symbolic Logic and its Applications. We begin by analyzing how MacColl presented the notion in the framework of his symbolic logic, which includes nonexistent objects. Then, from the perspective of dialogical logic, we propose a logical interpretation of the notion of symbolic existence implementing a dynamic quantifier and a dependency predicate inspired by the artifactual theory of Amie Thomasson. This allows us to show how the ontologically symbolic character of an entity may be understood as it relates to its possible existence and in a pragmatic context.
