What is a logic? Towards axiomatic emptiness
##plugins.themes.bootstrap3.article.main##
Abstract
We first recall the original Greek sense of the word logic and how logic was developed on the one hand as an efficient way of reasoning by the use of reduction to the absurd and on the other hand as a useless system of logic by Aristotle. Then we discuss the changes of the modern conception of logic: the rejection of the principle of noncontradiction considered as fundamental by Aristotle and the structuralist move breaking the Aristotelian accident/essence dichotomy. Finally we explain why and how in universal logic — like in universal algebra — axiomatic emptiness prevails: a logical structure is a structure obeying no axioms.
