Why Paraconsistent Logics?

  • Chapter
  • First Online:

Part of the book series: Intelligent Systems Reference Library ((ISRL,volume 110))

Abstract

In this chapter, we briefly review paraconsistent logics which are closely related to the topics in this book. We give an exposition of their history and formal aspects. We also address the importance of applications of paraconsistent logics to engineering.

Dedicated to Jair Minoro Abe for his 60th birthday.

Notes

  1. 1.

    In fact, in some systems of paraconsistent logic, like da Costa’s systems \(C_n\), the “good” propositions do satisfy this principle.
