SANTOS, Jorge Alejandro; MASSOLO, Alba  and  DURANTE, Santiago. Pluralism and Logical Monism, Relativism and Linguistic Determinism: How do Logic and Language Influence our thinking?. Eidos [online]. 2024, n.41, pp.198-229.  Epub May 15, 2024. ISSN 1692-8857.

This paper aims to relate two debates about how logic and language influence thought. There is an axis of discussion about whether there exists a plurality of logic or a single logical system as an evaluation criterion for any reasoning context. In linguistics, the debate arising from the strong and weak interpretations of the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis has centralized the discussion around the degree of influence or determination of language on thought. From different perspectives and theoretical-conceptual frameworks, logic, and linguistics delimit and problematize a field of inquiry and reflection. The article, from a transdisciplinary perspective, intends to account for and postulate communicating vessels between these debates, considering the nuances of each approach. It also seeks to propose its own hypothesis on the problem raised.

Keywords : logic; pluralism; monism; linguistics; relativism; determinism.
