Evolution and logic
pp. 129-138
Abstract
Hume"s analysis of causality opens up for an Darwinistic understanding of causality. It is argued that basic logic can be given a similar analysis as causality and hence also can be seen as a result of biological evolution. Philosophically, there is a close connection to Kant"s forms of intuition.
