2011What is informal logic, is it “logic” at all? Main contemporary approaches are briefly presented and critically commented. If the notion of consequence is at the heart of logic, does it make sense to speak about “informal” consequence? A valid inference is truth preserving, if the premises are true, so is the conclusion.

Logic Information Systems for Logic Programmers
2003Logic Information Systems (lis) use logic in a uniform way to describe their contents, to query it, to navigate through it, to analyze it, and to update it. They can be given an abstract specification that does not depend on the choice of a particular logic, and concrete instances can be obtained by instantiating this specification with a particular ...

Descartes’ philosophy is often seen as the embodiment of a demand for logical rigour and mathematical reasoning in the 17th century. But in fact in his opinion one of the crucial causes for the failure of traditional philosophy and science was logical rigour as epitomised in the Aristotelian theory of the syllogism.

One of the open problems in the philosophy of information is whether there is an information logic (IL), different from epistemic (EL) and doxastic logic (DL), which formalises the relation ia is informed that pi (Iap) satisfactorily. In this paper, the problem is solved by arguing that the axiom schemata of the normal modal logic (NML) KTB (also known

I shall restrict my treatment of Bacon’s philosophy only to its drive towards an informative science, and I shall argue that this was its essential thesis. It entailed his view of observation and of its role in the procedure of discovery, and finally it entailed the logic of this procedure with its inevitable paradoxes and irrationality.
