Resumen de Postscript: Medieval Logic as "Sprachphilosophie"
To the question "What is medieval logic after all?", this postscript suggests the following answer: medieval logic is "Sprachphilosophie", that is, philosophy of language as it developed in the early twentieth century in the Austro-German tradition. This claim is based on the fact that: (1) medieval logic textbooks often deal with topics which would not qualify as belonging to logic (e.g., questions pertaining to grammar, semantics, philosophy of mind and metaphysics); and (2) this location at the crossroads of those philosophical domains is precisely a characteristic feature of "Sprachphilosophie". In addition, one of the first attempts to grasp the specificity of medieval linguistic theogy (Grabmann's "Sprachlogik", 1920) explicitly derives from the "Sprachphilosophie" of the Austro-German tradition.
