The essay is dedicated to the memory of Jaakko Hintikka and Hilary
Putnam, two logically inventive philosophers who, nonetheless, showed
deep judgment in bringing to the fore the limits of reducing natural
languages to formal languages, via the use of logical forms and model
theory. Writing in parallel ecologies, the two proposed rather similar
“limitative” theses about the popular logical-form-cum-model theory
methodology.
