Abstract

In his "Ensaio sobre os Fundamentos da Lógica", Newton da Costa advanced at least two interesting ideas to relate logic with quantum theory in a different direction than that of standard ‘quantum logics’, contributing to initiating the systematic investigations in the field of non-reflexive logics with the introduction of a system of logic where the standard notion of identity is not appliable to all objects, as some like Schrödinger believed with regards quantum elementary particles. In this chapter, we revise his system, relate the subject with philosophical and logical discussions about identity and individuation of quantum objects, and also show how they were extended in the directions of a group of higher-order logics and of a theory of quasi-sets. So, we show how the two challenges proposed by da Costa were solved, first with the development of a the- ory of quasi-sets and then by founding in such a theory a semantics for a special case of an intensional Schrödinger logic which encompasses da Costa’s system and which copes with Dalla Chiara and Toraldo di Francia’s claim that “microphysics is a world of intensions". Some further applications of these systems are also referred to, so as some philosophical ideas are further advanced. The References at the end provide material for more detailed analyses.
