| Abstract | 1. Looking at Vasiľiev’s works we notice the influence of Neo-Kantians’ views, why we have to separate the real world from the world of thought before we start philosophical-logical investigations. From the point of view of logic, Vasiľiev adopted two assumptions. First, the essence of logic is the division into truth and falsehood. It is not possible to deal with logic if we cannot differentiate between the two. The second assumption is that logic comprises two types of rules: the first are rules of a purely rational nature, they are absolute and form a part of metalogic — the universal part of logic, which is not subject for change. The laws of the other type are of an empirical-rational nature, similar to the character of natural rules. All the principles of this kind can be eliminated and replaced by other ones. This part of logic which consists of empirical-rational rules, can undergo various changes. Vasiľiev tried to find the answer to the following question: What type of a principle is the principle of contradictions? The analysis of negative proposition is the starting point of those investigations: The negation found in negative propositions is considered by Vasiľiev in two bearings: a material and a formal one. The negation examined in relation to materialism — talks about the ground for negation. It is based on some existential assumptions and is of ontological nature. Formal negation which can be called ‘logical’, refers to the following characteristic of negation: the negative proposition shows the falsehood of the affirmative one. |
