Abstract

Quilty-Dunn et al. (Q&P&M) defended the re-emergence of LOTH. My commentary builds up implications for the study of the development of our logical capacities. Empirical support for logically-augmented LOT-systems calls for the investigation of their logical primitives and developmental origin. Furthermore, Q&P&M's characterization of LOT helps the quest for the foundation of logic by dissociating logical cognition from natural language.
