Resumo
Logic is not metaphysically neutral. For propositional logics assumptions are needed about the nature of the world as it relates to propositions. Predicate logic assumes a metaphysics of individual things. The metaphysics is reflected in the linguistic forms chosen for investigation. The scope and limitations of the logic are determined primarily by the metaphysics. The metaphysics of predicate logic precludes analysis of inferences that depend on aspects of verbs. A logic of processes is needed, for there is much more in the world than everything.
