Infinite Conjunction vs. Compactness

98 Views Asked by At

How is what Quine (Methods of Logic, 1959, p. 254) called "the law of infinite conjunction" different from the compactness theorem for propositional logic?

The former states that if a finite or infinite set C of truth-functional formulas is consistent, then there is some truth-assignment that makes all members of C true.

Compactness states that a set of propositions is satisfiable if and only if every finite subset is satisfiable.
