Abstract

The phrase “logical space” is one of the most frequently occurring phrases in contemporary philosophy. Countless times in the context of a philosophical debate or discussion we say something to the effect that a certain position on a certain issue is possible or makes sense for someone to hold — it is in logical space, we say. We need not agree with that position, but we consider it to make sense, or to be consistent logically. In such contexts we care about the particular position itself and we might explain it, make it more explicit, analyze it in terms of its consequences, agree with it, reject it, improve it, work it out in more detail, and so on.
