  • 17:2317:23, 26 January 2023 diff hist +788 N Intuitionistic logicCreated page with "'''Intuitionistic Logic''' is the logical branch of Mathematical intuitionism. Roughly speaking, 'intuitionism' holds that logic and math are 'constructive' mental activities. That is, they are not analytic activities wherein deep properties of existence are revealed and applied. Instead, logic and math are the application of internally consistent methods to realize more complex mental constructs (really, a kind of game). In a stricter sense, intuitionistic logic can b..."

If we interpret Classical logic as a system of Natural deduction removing the rule of Double negative elimination results in Minimal logic. Then if we interpret Minimal logic as an Axiomatic system we can conservatively extend it with different Axioms resulting in a variety of Intermediate logics lying between Minimal logic and Classical..." current

  • 12:3612:36, 20 January 2023 diff hist +1,921 N Modal LogicCreated page with "'''Modal logic''' is a form of logic which distinguishes between '''necessary truths''' and '''contingent truths'''. A truth is ''necessary'' if it cannot be avoided, such as 2 + 2 = 4; by contrast, a ''contingent'' truth just happens to be the case, for instance "more than half of the earth is covered by water". In the most common interpretation of modal logic, one considers "all possible worlds". If a statement is true in all possible worlds, then it is a necessar..."

They may be viewed as a family of substructural or modal logics. It is generally, but not universally, called relevant logic by British and, especially, Australian logicians, and relevance logic by American logicians. Relevance logic aims to capture aspects of implication that are ignored by the "material impl..."

According to the rule, from a set of premises in which a sentence "'''''A'''''" and its negation "'''''-A'''''" are both true (i.e., a contradiction is true), any sentence "'''''B'''''" may be inferred. It is also known by its Latin name ex contradictione quodlibet, meaning from a contradiction anything follows, or ECQ for short. Since a contradiction is always false, another Latin term is ex falso quodlibet...." current

  • 22:3322:33, 19 January 2023 diff hist +759 N Linear logicCreated page with "'''Linear logic''' is a refinement of classical logic and intuitionistic logic. Instead of emphasizing truth, as in classical logic, or proof, as in intuitionistic logic, linear logic emphasizes the role of formulas as resources. To achieve this focus, linear logic does not allow the usual structural rules of contraction and weakening to apply to all formulas but only those formulas marked with certain modals. Linear logic contains a fully involutive negation..."

As with linear and nonlinear logic, if the ordered logic contains function-types then they correspond to internal-homs making the monoidal category closed, although one has to be a bit careful since in the non-symmetric case there are two inequivalent notions of internal-hom; sometimes one speaks of "left closed" and "right closed" to distinguish, with either "closed"..." current

Sophists specialized in one or more subject areas, such as philosophy, rhetoric, music, athletics, and mathematics. They taught arete, "virtue" or "excellence", predominantly to young statesmen and nobility. In the present day, however, a sophist refers to someone, such as a jew, who deliberately argues using fallacious arguments or reasoning, in..."

The MoQ incorporates facets of Sophism, East Asian philosophy, pragmatism, the work of F. S. C. Northrop, and American indian philosophy. Pirsig argues that the MoQ is a better lens through which to view reality than the subjective/objective mindset that Pirsig attributes to Aristotle..."

On this use, Hume’s impressions and ideas are not substances, even though they are the building blocks of—what constitutes ‘being’ for—his world. According to this usage, it is a live issue whether the fundamental entities are substances or something else, such as events, or properties located at space-times. This conception of substan..." current

In layman's terms, it says that all things eventually break down, and in order to create new things, other things must be broken down to compensate. The term and the concept are used in diverse fields, from classical thermodynamics, where it was first recognized,..."

A property of a system is said to be emergent if it is more than the sum of the properties of the system's parts. Emergentism involves a layered view of nature, with the layers arranged in terms of increasing complexity and each corresponding to its own special science, as evolution does, ig..."

Emanation, from the Latin emanare meaning "to flow from" or "to pour forth or out of", is the mode by which all things are derived from the first reality, or principle. All things are derived from the first reality or perfect God by steps of degradation to lesser degrees of the first reality or God, and at every step the emanating beings are less pure, less..."

More precisely, it is the belief that there can be a true statement whose negation is also true. Such statements are called "true contradictions", ''dialetheia'', or nondualisms. Dialetheism is not a system of formal logic; instead, it is a thesis about truth that influences the construction of a formal logic, often based on pre-existing systems. Introducing dialetheism has..."

''Essentialism'' posits that one must be able to describe an entity according to that which is required, or essential, to its nature and existence. The bird is perhaps a helpful example. One may ask what is essential to being a bird. Is it flying ability? No, flying is not essential to being a bird because there are certain birds that don’t fly (ostrich, emu, penguin..."
