Abstract

Definite articles (in Latin the zero article and in English often the indefinite article) are used with remarkable frequency in traditional philosophical literature and used in such a way that, from the point of view of modern logic, the logical form of the sentences in which these articles occur, cannot in most cases be recognized.
