Aesthetics and Kalology

Abstract

Goodman finds it sometimes important to point out that his logic of constructing worlds and realities, rather than trying to uncover the alleged true nature of a purported real world, is what guides his thought from its very beginnings. This logic of construction is (as seen above) a logic or reference and not a logic of inference. It is a logic concerned with building symbological universes, bound together through referential relations, and for such communities of individuals for whom these relations hold, or have meaning.
