Abstract

Starting from Whitehead's notion of measure as inevitably situated, the idea of a logic as a measurement is developed. This approach enables a fresh look at the plurality of logics, partly infomed by the concept of galaxies ”“ sets of possible worlds. The paper concludes by bringing some paradoxico-metaphysical elements from indexicalism to further understand how Whitehead could be here hinting at a situated philosophy of logic.
