What Is Philosophical Logic?
Immortalist
philosophical aspects of logic. The term contrasts with philosophy of
logic, metalogic, and mathematical logic; and since the development of
mathematical logic in the late nineteenth century, it has come to
include most of those topics traditionally treated by logic in
general. It is concerned with characterizing notions like inference,
rational thought, truth, and contents of thoughts, in the most
fundamental ways possible, and trying to model them using modern
formal logic.
The notions in question include reference, predication, identity,
truth, negation, quantification, existence, necessity, definition and
entailment.
Philosophical logic is not concerned with the psychological processes
connected with thought, or with emotions, images and the like. It is
concerned only with those entities — thoughts, sentences, or
propositions — that are capable of being true and false. To this
extent, though, it does intersect with philosophy of mind and
philosophy of language. Gottlob Frege is regarded by many as the
founder of modern philosophical logic.
Not all philosophical logic, however, applies formal logical
techniques. A good amount of it is written in natural language. One
definition, popular in Britain, is that philosophical logic is the
attempt to solve general philosophical problems that arise when we use
or think about formal logic: problems about existence, necessity,
analyticity, a prioricity, propositions, identity, predication, truth.
Philosophy of logic, on the other hand, would tackle metaphysical and
epistemological problems about entailment, validity, and proof. So it
could be said that philosophy of logic is a branch of philosophy but
philosophical logic belongs to the domain of logic (though logic is
itself a branch of philosophy).

Is Wittgenstein an exponent of philosophical logic. The later LW
mentions language games and what purpose the games transfigure.
Clearly LW is the greatest positivist philosopher and philosopher on
logic.

I don't need to read anything about this topic because I can, did, and
do, write and think it all up without any difficulty.

I am Wittgenstein, and what he wrote, I can write too.

as any political ideology can go, and again if it is true also that Fascism
is at the extreme right of center, as far as any political ideology can go;
then it must be true then that Anarchy represents the true center place of
any given political ideology?

You have a knack for quotng - it must be said.
Sometimes, however, I miss the question,
the "thauma", the wondering, this source of all philosphy:
the curiosity, the drive. What is the interest, the unsolved-, or
unresolvedness
for you - or, in your opinion, for everyone - in these quotes?
Very often, they are "on the one hand this, and on the other hand that",
and with that, everything is said.
And the art of beng boring is saying everything.
The line above is a quote, i.e. not from me, so it must be true.

Made infinitely interesting the moment logic became 'formal' with the use
of abstracted symbols. Is formal logic metaphorical logic?

If philosophic logic deals with the philosophical aspects of logic and
LW dealt with the philosophical aspects of logic, then is is possible
and likely that he was an exponent of philosophical logic.

How do you study non-contradictory identification?

By inductive probability.

Don't sigh about unavoidable truths. - Read Epictetus instead to
preserve your peace of mind ;-)
