文摘This paper is to criticize a bad point of view that says ‘logical truths are mistakable and logic is in principle revisable’. It argues that this point of view is not one from Quine, but only a misunderstanding of Quine’s works; that the ‘revision’ of logic might have some reasons, but not because logical truths are mistakable at all; that it is necessary to distinguish logic from a logical system, for logic is the name for the science that reveals the common property of all logical systems, though every logical system has some special features for its own.
