Abstract

The intention is to reconstruct and analyse the introduction of Quine's O sentido da nova lógica to, in light of its historical justifications for the modern corollary logical system, seeking to defend the ontological neutrality that it's formal aspect allows. The distinction between naming and meaning at Quine's new logic, points out the fact that it's not necessary to "admit a kingdom of entities called meanings" (QUINE, 1985. p. 230) and that, therefore the formality of ontological statements assumes no ontological commitment.
