Likewise, it is important to investigate the hypothesis that the logic of the future must accord ethics a more central and explicit role." Connections between ethics and irrational subjectivities must be severed human dignity and mutual respect can be based to a greater extent on the universal desire for objective knowledge. It reads: ".many exemplary moralists, including Socrates, Plato, Kant, Mill, Gandhi, and Martin Luther King, showed by their teachings and actions a deep commitment to objectivity, the ethical value that motivates logic and is served by logic It is important to investigate the hypothesis that the ethics of the future must accord logic a more central and explicit role. One of the most unique, insightful, and accessible introductions to a piece of philosophy I have ever read comes from John Corcoran's under‑appreciated essay, 'The Inseparability of Logic and Ethics.

I hope that reading this aloud in groups will unite people in the enjoyment of the humanistic spirit of analytic philosophy. As is suggested by the title, this paper is written to be read aloud. Questions of “ontological status”-e.g., whether propositions or sentences, or for that matter characters, numbers, truth-values, or instants, are “real entities”, are “idealizations”, or are “theoretical constructs”-play no role in this paper. We hope to establish that clarity is served by deferring the extensive use of formalized or logically perfect languages until a solid “informal” foundation has been established. Meanings need to be identified and clarified before being expressed in symbols. No mathematical, logical, or linguistic symbols are used.
One of the purposes of this paper is to demonstrate that ordinary English properly used has the resources for intricate and philosophically sound investigation of rather deep issues in logic and philosophy of language. In the course of displaying and describing the phenomena discussed using these words, this paper juxtaposes, distinguishes, and analyzes several senses of these and related words, focusing on a constellation of recommended senses.
Several of their meanings are vague in the sense of admitting borderline cases. However, each is ambiguous in that logicians use each with multiple normal meanings. Ap4:00 p.m., 141 Park Hall John Corcoran, (University at Buffalo) Title: "Sentence, Proposition, Judgment, Statement, and Fact: Speaking about the Written English Used in Logic" Abstract: The five English words-sentence, proposition, judgment, statement, and fact-are central to coherent discussion in logic.
