Discussive Adaptive Logics: Handling Internal and External Inconsistencies∗
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper, I present the discussive adaptive logic DLI. As is the case for other discussive logics, the intended application context of DLI is the interpretation of discussions. What is new about the system is that it does not lead to explosion when some of the premises are selfcontradictory. It is argued that this is important in view of the fact that human reasoners are not logically omniscient, and hence, that it may not be evident to discover the inconsistencies in one’s beliefs. In addition to this, DLI can handle cases in which different participants contradict each other. It is shown that, in both kinds of cases, DLI leads to an interpretation of the discussion that is as rich as possible (even though no discussive connectives are introduced).

An Adaptive Logic Based on Jaśkowskiˈs Approach to Paraconsistency
Discussive logics (also called discursive logics) were introduced in 1948 by Stanis law Jaśkowski and constitute the first family of formal paraconsistent logics. The basic mechanism behind discussive logics is as simple as ingenious. Where L is some modal logic and Γ♦ = {♦A | A ∈ Γ}, a discussive logic DL, associated with L, is obtained by specifying the language L of DL and by stipulating tha...
متن کاملNew Arguments for Adaptive Logics as Unifying Frame for the Defeasible Handling of Inconsistency
Nearly all popular reasoning forms that handle inconsistencies in a defeasible way have been characterized in terms of inconsistency-adaptive logics in standard format. This format has great advantages, which are explained in Sections 1 and 2. This suggests that inconsistency-adaptive logics form a suitable unifying framework for handling such reasoning
متن کاملRecent Results by the Inconsistency - Adaptive Labourers ∗
This paper offers an incomplete survey of recent results on inconsistencyadaptive logics (disregarding results on other adaptive logics). Much attention is paid to the so-called standard format, because it provides most of the required metatheory for adaptive logics that are phrased in this format. Combined adaptive logics are also briefly discussed. Other results briefly reported on concern (i...
متن کاملNarrowing Down Suspicion in Inconsistent Premise Sets∗
Inconsistency-adaptive logics isolate the inconsistencies that are derivable from a premise set, and restrict the rules of Classical Logic only where inconsistencies are involved. From many inconsistent premise sets, disjunctions of contradictions are derivable no disjunct of which is itself derivable. Given such a disjunction, it is often justified to introduce new premises that state, with a ...
متن کاملINCONSISTENCY–ADAPTIVE MODAL LOGICS On How to Cope with Modal Inconsistency
In this paper, I will characterize a new class of inconsistency–adaptive logics, namely inconsistency–adaptive modal logics. These logics cope with inconsistencies in a modal context. More specifically, when faced with inconsistencies, inconsistency–adaptive modal logics avoid explosion, but still allow the derivation of sufficient consequences to adequately explicate the intended part of human...
