In the preceding chapters we have tried to familiarize the reader with the relation of representation of logistic languages, and have systematically worked through the various possible correlations of linguistic and ontological entities with respect to predicate signs. To conclude, we shall give a brief account of the importance of logistic analysis for philosophy. We shall stress in particular the value of exact formulation, the fundamental importance of logistic analysis from the point of view of formal ontology, and the fact that the use of a logistic language in no way indicates a narrowly formalistic attitude on the part of its user: upon reflection it leads, on the contrary, to the acknowledgment of an intuitive content beyond what is merely formal.
