Description

Explore the fundamental limits of logical consequence with Barriers to Entailment: Hume's Law and other Limits on Logical Consequence. Published by Oxford University Press, this text examines the core concept that certain conclusions cannot be derived from specific types of premises. A central focus is the famous Hume's Law, which posits that normative conclusions cannot be drawn from descriptive premises, commonly known as the idea that you cannot get an ought from an is. This book addresses the controversy surrounding this law and the various counterexamples proposed over the last century. Beyond Hume's Law, the text investigates other logical barriers, such as the inability to reach universal conclusions from particular premises, the difficulty of drawing future conclusions from premises about the past, and other significant philosophical constraints on entailment.
