258. 3. On Second- Order Logic 45 by "all" and "some," among others (even though these notions are almost never quantified over) . In the second place, unlike planet or field, the notions of set, class, property, concept, and relation, etc. have often been considered to be distinctively logical notions, probably for some such very simple reason as that anything whatsoever may belong to a set , have a property, or bear a relation. That some set- or relation-existence assertions are counted as logical truths in second- or higher-order systems does not, it seems to me, suffice to disqualify them as systems of logic, as a system would be disqualified if it classified as a truth of logic the existence of a planet with at least two satellites.
First of all, "in second-order logic one quantifies over sets, " There are certain (second-order) sentences of any given language that will be classified by second-order logic as logical truths (Le. , as valid) , even though they assert , under any interpretation of the language whose domain forms a set , the existence of certain sorts of subsets of the domain. ) ":JXV'x(Xx <---t --':1: E x ) " and ":JXV'x(Xx <---t x = " x) are two examples. Thus, unless there exist sets of the right sorts , these sentences will be false under certain interpretations.
