A Complete, Type-free "Second-order" Logic and Its Philosophical Foundations

CSLI Publications (1986)
Abstract In this report I motivate and develop a type-free logic with predicate quantifiers within the general ontological framework of (nonextensional) properties, relations, and propositions. In Part I, I present the major ideas of the system informally and discuss its philosophical significance, especially with regard to Russell's paradox. In Part II, I prove the soundness, consistency, and completeness of the logic.
