  • Summary

    This chapter discusses the application of the logic to actual theories. In particular, it discusses the use of this relevant logic to make inferences about classical theories. It also examines the internal structure of theories and the nature of the conditionals in those theories. At the end of the chapter, some suggestions are made about generalizing the semantical theory of the book to treat the application of background scientific theories to other theories and some consequences for scientific confirmation.
