Location:  Math 350

Abstract:  
In The Principles of Mathematics Revisited, (1996), Jaakko Hintikka argues that the received first-order logic is not the correct logic for the foundations of mathematics. He proposes independence-friendly (IF) logic as an alternative. In this talk, I will present IF logic and discuss some of its advantages and disadvantages.
