Abstract: We should distinguish two kinds of logical pursuit. The first is the pursuit of the explication of the absolute concepts of truth, proof, consequence etc.; the second is the pursuit of their counterparts which are relativized to a linguistic system. The former leads to the 'logic as a language' notion; the other to the 'logic as a calculus' one. These two pursuits are, of course, not unrelated (the latter may be taken as a way of carrying out the former); however, many logicians appear to simply identify logic with one of them. And while it is feasible to identify logic with the first of them (possibly taking the second as a means of accomplishing it), it is not so feasible to identify it with the second.
