MORETTI, Alberto. Logic and the Plot of Things. Ideas y Valores [online]. 2016, vol.65, n.161, pp.5-22. ISSN 0120-0062.  https://doi.org/10.15446/ideasyvalores.v65n161.43294.

The article examines some representative versions of views opposing the relationship between the structures of discourse and reality. On that basis, it proposes making a distinction between constitutive and non-constitutive aspects of language and reality, manifest in the logic of a common language. It argues that the former are minimal and that the specific logical theories are to be considered part of general theories about the world, partially normative, empirically questionable and historically changing. As a result, there are not grounds to believe that there is a universal domain of objects or properties and, correspondingly, a single structure of the world, only one acceptable or complete worldview, or only one acceptable universal logic.

Palabras clave : language; logic; reality.
