Logic, Act and Product

Résumé

Logic and psychology overlap in judgment, inference and proof. Theproblems raised by this commonality are notoriously difficult, bothfrom a historical and from a philosophical point of view. Sundholmhas for a long time addressed these issues. Sundholm begins his beau-tiful piece of work [Sundholm(2002)] begins by summarizing the maindifficulty in the usual provocative manner of the author: one can start,he says, by the act of knowledge to go to the object, as the Idealistdoes; one can also start by the object to go to the act, in the Realistmood; never the two shall meet. He is himself inclined to accept thefirst perspective as the right one and he has eventually developed anoriginal version of antirealism which starts, not from considerationsabout the publicity of meaning, in the manner of Dummett, but froman epistemic standpoint, trying to search in a non-Fregean traditionof analysis of judgement and cognate notions a way of founding con-structivist semantics. The present paper ploughes the same field. Weconcentrate on the significance, for Sundholm's program, of the per-spective that has been opened by Twardowski in his important essayon acts and products [Twardowski(1912a)]
