inference or giving up all inferences. One exception is that of intuitionist logic; here we have a genuinely different logic and the principal motive for its formation was to disallow certain inferences. While this is a case to which Goodman could point, it is a very special one involving the foundations of mathematics, and I do not think that it would substantiate his general thesis that logical rules are arrived at by mutual adjustment with particular inferences.
