Resumo: An examination of the grounds of logical necessity is offered by taking its lead from Barry Stroud’s challenge to the possibility of articulating satisfactorily any such grounds in full generality. The intelligibility of logical aliens is also considered, and different conceptions of such aliens, some more radical in their treatment of the issue than others, are examined as well. Logical aliens are beings whose thinking goes beyond the limits of thought, presumably with a logic different from our own. I argue that logical aliens are either something straightforward and unproblematic or something we cannot recognize as logical. In either case, there are ways of accommodating such aliens despite the fact that the search for grounds of logical necessity is ultimately misguided.

A inteligibilidade dos alienígenas lógicos também é considerada, e diferentes concepções dos mesmos, algumas mais radicais em seu tratamento da questão do que outras, também são examinadas. Alienígenas lógicos são seres cujo pensamento ultrapassa os limites do próprio pensamento, presumivelmente com uma lógica diferente da nossa. Argumento que tais alienígenas ou são algo simples e isento de dificuldades ou algo que não podemos reconhecer como sendo lógicos. Em ambos os casos, há modos de acomodá-los, ainda que a busca por fundamentos da necessidade lógica seja, em última análise, equivocada.Federal University of Santa Catarina – UFSC2023-05-26info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/principia/article/view/9365710.5007/1808-1711.2023.e93657Principia: an international journal of epistemology; Vol. 27 No. 1 (2023): Special Issue: The Logical Alien + Varia; 87-100Principia: an international journal of epistemology; Vol. 27 Núm. 1 (2023): Special Issue: The Logical Alien + Varia; 87-100Principia: an international journal of epistemology; v. 27 n. 1 (2023): Special Issue: The Logical Alien + Varia; 87-1001808-17111414-4247reponame:Principia (Florianópolis.
