Word Choice[fontem recensere]
Do we have a word for theorem? I used confirmatum, as in a thing that has been shown to be true. Shilling.jake 00:20, 5 Martii 2010 (UTC)
I think that I will change leges logicae to iures logicae to express that these are natural laws and not legislative degrees. Shilling.jake 00:28, 5 Martii 2010 (UTC)
- Theorem = Theorema n. the word for law is lex; iures logicae isn't latin; iura logicae would be the "rights of logic" because ius means "right; justice" not law per se although it is used in the abstract sense of law sometimes. It is beneficial to try to read some latin texts in the subject you wish to write about before trying to write about them so that you can more easily pick up the terms.--24.107.235.195 00:36, 5 Martii 2010 (UTC)
- Ah! Mixed up my gender with iura, but I don't think that it is a mistake to use it instead of leges. The first meaning for it in the Oxford Latin Dictionary is "Law" not "right, or justice". The second meaning given is "A legal system or code (with all its technicalities", which is the meaning that we want to express here. My professor taught us to think of lex as something more concretely legislative and to think of ius as more natural laws in addition to a system of courts. I would like to highlight this philosophical distinction in regard to the laws of logic. "θεώρημα" would be fine to use if there is already a precedent in Latin to sight the Greek use of the term. My Latin dictionary gives the meaning of theorema to be the same as the main usage in Greek; however, Liddel and Scott does go into more depth as says that it can be used in a mathematical sense. Unfortunately there is not that much reading on this topic in Latin that I know of. Shilling.jake 20:58, 8 Martii 2010 (UTC)
- You should read more about roman law about which much much has been written in latin; from that you will see that ius does mean right and only secondarily "the law" not simply "law" (especially when not referring to laws of logic or laws of nature). You might start at lacus curtius which discusses the term in the context of rights and human laws. See also the links on our [Ius]] page.Also look at the entries on the various particular rights named Ius+X here and at lacus curtius. And you may wish also to compare the use of the term law in contexts outside of roman law, such as in science. Ius is a moral-political concept not one pertaining to religion or to natural sciences or mathematics.--Rafaelgarcia 21:43, 8 Martii 2010 (UTC)
