Free logic
A free logic is a logic with fewer existential presuppositions than classical logic. Free logics may allow for terms that do not denote any object. Free logics may also allow models that have an empty domain. A free logic with the latter property is an inclusive logic.
== Explanation ==

In classical logic there are theorems that clearly presuppose that there is something in the domain of discourse. Consider the following classically valid theorems.
:1. \forall xA \rightarrow \exists xA
:2. \forall xA \rightarrow A(r/x) (where r does not occur free for x in A and A(r/x) is the result of substituting r for all free occurrences of x in A)
:3. Ar \rightarrow \exists xAx (where r does not occur free for x in A)
A valid scheme in the theory of equality which exhibits the same feature is
:4. \forall x(Fx \rightarrow Gx) \land \exists xFx \rightarrow \exists x(Fx \land Gx)
Informally, if F is '=y', G is 'is Pegasus', and we substitute 'Pegasus' for y, then (4) appears to allow us to infer from 'everything identical with Pegasus is Pegasus' that something is identical with Pegasus. The problem comes from substituting nondesignating constants for variables: in fact, we cannot do this in standard formulations of first-order logic, since there are no nondesignating constants. Classically, ∃x(x=y) is deducible from the open equality axiom y=y by particularization (i.e. (3) above).
In free logic, (1) is replaced with
:1b. \forall xA \land E!t \rightarrow \exists xA, where E! is an existence predicate (in some but not all formulations of free logic, E!t can be defined as ∃y(y=t))
Similar modifications are made to other theorems with existential import (e.g. the Rule of Particularization becomes (Ar → (E!r → ∃xAx)).
Axiomatizations of free-logic are given in Hintikka (1959),〔Jaako Hintikka (1959). Existential Presuppositions and Existential Commitments. Journal of Philosophy 56 (3):125-137.〕 Lambert (1967), Hailperin (1957), and Mendelsohn (1989).
