This chapter argues that logic is a theory, and can be revised as any other scientific theory. The comparison with geometry is helpful in this regard. It also discusses Quine’s views on the matter, particularly the claim that any changing of logic is a changing of subject.

Keywords:   logic, change of logic, geometry, inconsistent arithmetics, meaning-variance, Quine
