The theory of the square of opposition has been studied for over 2,000 years and has seen a resurgence in new theories and research since the second half of the twentieth century. This volume collects papers presented at the Sixth World Congress on the Square of Opposition, held in Crete in 2018, developing an interdisciplinary exploration of the theory. Chapter authors explore subjects such as Aristotle’s ontological square, logical oppositions in Avicenna’s hypothetical logic, and the power of the square of opposition to solve theological problems regarding predestination and theodicy. Other topics covered include:Hegel’s opposition to diagramsDe Morgan’s unpublished octagon of opposition turnstile figures of oppositioninstitutional model-theoretic treatment of oppositionsLacan’s four formulas of sexuationthe theory of oppositional poly-simplexesThe Exoteric Square of Opposition will appeal topure logicians, historians of logic, semioticians, philosophers, theologians, mathematicians, and psychoanalysts.
