What is the relationship between FOPL and Higher Order Logics?

As François G. Dorais pointed out you have to read carefully wikipedia's article. The main difference in expressiveness between first order logic and second order logic is given by the semantics. …

Is there a precise definition of "mathematical formula"?

Every book of mathematical logic should be a good reference where to find the notion of formula. Usually when one refers to formulas it means formulas of a first order language. A first order langua …

Circular, or missing, definition in set theory?

If by "the domain of $x \in A$" you mean the objects you can put in $x$ and $A$ then the answer is everything. This is due to the fact that in set theories such as ZFC and NBG all objects are set/clas …

Category theorists stance on deductive systems

I think the idea should pretty much like this: once you drop the requirement for the deductive system to be freely generated from the axioms by the inference rules (i.e. you accept the existence of no …

Differences between logic with and without equality

By logic without equality I mean those kind of logics where equality is treated as a binary relation satisfying some axioms, as opposed to a logics where equality is a logical symbol satisfying some i …

I am a little bit rusty on the subject so I hope whatever I am going to say is correct (otherwise someone else will possibly correct me and I'll learn something :) ). Before I start allow me to stres …

Higher categories in logic

I've read somewhere (probably in the nlab) that higher category theory has application in logic. By the way since now the only applications of higher category theory I've seen are in homotopy theory a …
