The Implications of Paraconsistency
نویسنده
چکیده
This is a connected scries of arguments concerning paraconsistent logic. It is argued first that paraconsistency is an option worth pursuing in automated reasoning, then that the most popular paraconsistent logic, fde, is inadequate for the reconstruction of essential first order arguments. After a case is made for regarding quantifiers as dyadic rather than monadic operators, it is shown that the addition of such quantifiers to fde allows an implication connective to be defined yielding the known logic BN4. Refining the treatment of implication in a manner similar to that found in intuit ionist logic leads to the more interesting system BN.

Paraconsistency and Topological Semantics
The well-studied notion of deductive explosion describes the situation where any formula can be deduced from an inconsistent set of formulas. In other words, in deductively explosive logics, we have {φ,¬φ} ⊢ ψ for all formulas φ, ψ where ⊢ is a logical consequence relation. In this respect, both “classical” and intuitionistic logics are known to be deductively explosive. Paraconsistent logic, o...
متن کاملOn Discourses Addressed by Infidel Logicians
We attempt to address here some alleged criticisms against the philosophical import of the so-called Brazilian approach to paraconsistency, especially by providing some demanded epistemic elucidations to the whole enterprise of the logics of formal inconsistency. In the way of elucidating, we substantiate the view that difficulties in reasoning under contradictions in both the Buddhist and the ...
متن کاملParaconsistency properties in degree-preserving fuzzy logics
Paraconsistent logics are specially tailored to deal with inconsistency, while fuzzy logics primarily deal with graded truth and vagueness. Aiming to find logics that can handle inconsistency and graded truth at once, in this paper we explore the notion of paraconsistent fuzzy logic. We show that degree-preserving fuzzy logics have paraconsistency features and study them as logics of formal inc...
متن کاملThree Schools of Paraconsistency
A logic is said to be paraconsistent if it does not allow everything to follow from contradictory premises. There are several approaches to paraconsistency. This paper is concerned with several philosophical positions on paraconsistency. In particular, it concerns three ‘schools’ of paraconsistency: Australian, Belgian and Brazilian. The Belgian and Brazilian schools have raised some objections...
متن کاملMaximal and Premaximal Paraconsistency in the Framework of Three-Valued Semantics
Maximality is a desirable property of paraconsistent logics, motivated by the aspiration to tolerate inconsistencies, but at the same time retain from classical logic as much as possible. In this paper we introduce the strongest possible notion of maximal paraconsistency , and investigate it in the context of logics that are based on deterministic or non-deterministic three-valued matrices. We ...
