− | '''''Zeroth order logic''''' is a term in popular use among practitioners for the subject matter otherwise known as [[boolean function]]s, [[monadic logic|monadic predicate logic]], [[propositional calculus]], or sentential calculus. One of the advantages of this terminology is that it institutes a higher level of abstraction in which the more inessential differences between these various subjects can be subsumed under the pertinent [[isomorphism]]s. | + | '''''Zeroth order logic''''' is a term in popular use among practitioners for the common principles underlying the [[algebra of sets]], [[boolean algebra]], [[boolean function]]s, [[logical connective]]s, [[monadic predicate calculus]], [[propositional calculus]], and sentential logic.
