Logical form has always been a prime concern for philosophers
belonging to the analytic tradition. For at least one century, the
study of logical form has been widely adopted as a method of
investigation, relying on its capacity to reveal the structure of
thoughts or the constitution of facts. This book focuses on the
very idea of logical form, which is directly relevant to any
principled reflection on that method. Its central thesis is that
there is no such thing as a correct answer to the question of what
is logical form: two significantly different notions of logical
form are needed to fulfill two major theoretical roles that pertain
respectively to logic and to semantics. This thesis has a negative
and a positive side. The negative side is that a deeply rooted
presumption about logical form turns out to be overly optimistic:
there is no unique notion of logical form that can play both roles.
The positive side is that the distinction between two notions of
logical form, once properly spelled out, sheds light on some
fundamental issues concerning the relation between logic and
language.
