  Logic - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It was not alone: the Stoics proposed a system of propositional logic that was studied by medieval logicians; nor was the perfection of Aristotle's system undisputed; for example the problem of multiple generality was recognised in medieval times.
With predicate logic, for the first time, logicians were able to give an account of quantifiers general enough to express all arguments occurring in natural language.
As a result, philosophical logicians have contributed a great deal to the development of non-standard logics (e.g., free logics, tense logics) as well as various extensions of classical logic (e.g., modal logics), and non-standard semantics for such logics (e.g., supervaluation semantics).

 Conceptual Relativity and Metaphysical Realism
By contrast the Polish logician, who accepts a particular mereology of objects according to which for every two particulars there is an object that is their “mereological sum,” counts the objects on the table and reports that there are exactly seven: O1, O2, O3, O1+O2, O1+O3, O2+O3, and O1+O2+O3.
The task is to explain why it is that Carnap and the Polish logician, despite the fact that they are employing a single concept of object and using the term ‘object’ with a single meaning, are both correct in their respective claims about how many objects are on the table.
This we did by pointing out that although Carnap and the Polish logician are employing a single concept of object, and are using the term ‘object’ with a single meaning, nevertheless their respective uses are semantically governed by different settings of the implicit mereology-parameter.

 John Dewey [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
Dewey later began to suspect that the issues surrounding the conditions of truth, as well as knowledge, were hopelessly obscured by the accretion of traditional, and in his view misguided, meanings to the terms, resulting in confusing ambiguity.
What is distinctive about intelligent inquiry is that it is facilitated by the use of language, which allows, by its symbolic meanings and implicatory relationships, the hypothetical rehearsal of adaptive behaviors before their employment under actual, prevailing conditions for the purpose of resolving problematic situations.
Logical form, the specialized subject matter of traditional logic, owes its genesis not to rational intuition, as had often been assumed by logicians, but due to its functional value in (1) managing factual evidence pertaining to the problematic situation that elicits inquiry, and (2) controlling the procedures involved in the conceptualized entertainment of hypothetical solutions.
