A one-day Kripke workshop at York reignited my fascination with the adoption problem in logic. What the Tortoise Said to Achilles frames the debate about adopting logical principles like modus ponens and universal instantiation. I question Padró's argument, probe I and E, and ask how to tell which principles are adoptable in the philosophy of logic.

This blog resonates with those who find themselves pondering the intricate layers of thought that underpin our reasoning. It's for the curious minds who delight in the dance between logic and language, and who appreciate the nuance that comes from questioning accepted principles. Here, you’ll encounter a thoughtful exploration of the adoption problem in logic — a space where philosophical musings meet a genuine desire to understand the mechanisms of thought itself. It invites its readers to engage in a deeper dialogue about how we come to embrace or reject the very foundations of our reasoning, inviting contemplation rather than offering definitive answers.
