A Formal Ontology of Situations

  • Chapter
Formal Ontology

Part of the book series: Nijhoff International Philosophy Series ((NIPS,volume 53))

Abstract

The theoretical foundation for this paper is the system of a non-Fregean logic created by Roman Suszko under the influence of Wittgenstein’s Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus. In fact, we use just a fragment of it called here a non-Fregean sentential logic.
