Arthur N. Prior on the Labours of Ł3 Conjunctions
Jeremiah Joven Joaquin, Peter Eldridge-Smith · History and Philosophy of Logic · 2023
In ‘Many-valued Logics’, a lecture broadcast over New Zealand's public radio in 1957, Arthur N. Prior (1914–1969) complained that conjunctions are put ‘to something like forced labour’ in Łukasiewicz's three-valued semantics, Ł3. In this paper, we discuss what Prior might have meant by this.
