What the Tortoise Said to Jesuits

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

According to the common scholastic position, a scientific theorem is proved if it is correctly deduced from evident assumptions. A yes-or-no solution to the question whether such inferential knowledge requires a higher-order logical knowledge results in the dilemma between infinite regress in higher-order justifications and logical omniscience. Is there a justifiable middle position between these two extremes? And if there is not, can at least one of these extreme positions be shown to be acceptable after all? The paper aims to reconstruct the solution to these questions formulated by the seventeenth-century Spanish Jesuits Pedro Hurtado de Mendoza, Rodrigo de Arriaga, Francisco de Oviedo, and Thyrsus Gonzáles de Santalla as part of their philosophy of logic. They endorse the view that certain logical principles are hard-wired, and (scientific) knowledge is closed under an inference step prescribed by these principles.
