  Paraconsistent logic - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Paraconsistent logic makes it possible to distinguish between inconsistent theories, and to reason with them in a way that may help to determine how they ought to be revised to regain consistency.
Paraconsistent logic has signficant overlap with many-valued logic; however, not all paraconsistent logics are many-valued (and, of course, not all many-valued logics are paraconsistent).
Paraconsistent logic has been proposed as means of providing a simple and intuitive formal account of truth that does not fall prey to paradoxes such as the Liar.

A paraconsistent logic is then a logical system in which ECQ does not hold.
Paraconsistent logic can be used in modelling belief systems which are inconsistent, and yet from which not anything can be inferred.
In standard logics, care has to be taken to not allow such statements as the liar paradox to be formed; paraconsistent logics can be much simplified in that they do not have to excise such statements (though they still have to excise Curry's paradox).

Rescher and Brandom, Logic of Inconsistency, Rowman and Littlefield, 1979.
If standard logic insists that contradictions are nothing but false, then it must justify this or else beg the question against dialetheism; but as we have seen, it is difficult to produce such a justification that is not viciously circular by presupposing the standard PEDC and hence the PNC that dialetheism has rejected.

Logics in which the set of implications determined by a given group of premises does not necessarily grow, and can shrink, when new wffs are added to the set of premises.
Paraconsistent logics can be "lived" if one vows to accept all truths, but does not insist on rejecting all falsehood.
Logics in which the times at which propositions bear certain truth-values can be indicated, in which the "tense" of the assertion can be indicated, and in which truth-values can be affected by the passage of time.

 Paraconsistency Everywhere, Greg Restall   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Paraconsistent logics are, by definition, inconsistency tolerant: In a paraconsistent logic, inconsistencies need not entail everything.
In this paper I distinguish {contradictions} from {other inconsistencies}, and I show that several different logics are, in an important sense, "paraconsistent" in virtue of being inconsistency tolerant without thereby being contradiction tolerant.
Given this fact, a widespread view—that traditional paraconsistent logics are especially repugnant because they countenance inconsistencies—is undercut.

 Bibliography on Adaptive Logics / references
This paper concerns some connections between paraconsistent logics, modal logics (mainly S5), and Ambiguity Logic AL (Classical Logic applied to a language in which all letters are indexed and in which quantifiers over such indices are present).
This paraconsistent logic seems especially useful as a lower limit logic for inconsistency-adaptive logics that are suitable for mathematical contexts.
We consider the very weak paracomplete and paraconsistent logics that are obtained by a straightforward weakening of Classical Logic, as well as some of their maximal extensions that are a fragment of Classical Logic.

A logic is said to be paraconsistent iff its relation of logical consequence is not explosive.
If an underlying paraconsistent logic is used to formalise the arithmetic, and the theory therefore allowed to be inconsistent, the Gödel sentence may well be provable in the theory (essentially by the above reasoning).
So a paraconsistent approach to arithmetic overcomes the limitations of arithmetic that are supposed (by many) to follow from Gödel's theorem.

Linear logic is tightly connected with the so-called structural rules of sequent calculus and it had a key role in the emergence of the new research field of substructural logics.
Priest thinks that paraconsistent logic is the most important event in logic in the XXth century because it is kicking out a principle which was taken as the basis of reasoning during more than two thousands years.
All this shows that paraconsistent logic has played a fundamental role towards universal logic, by dismissing the last and the more sacred principles of logic, showing that logic is grounded at a more abstract level, where no principles hold.

The central idea behind relevant logic is that there needs to be a tighter connection in arguments considered valid than we find in many arguments that are deemed valid by standard (or 'classical') logic.
Paraconsistent logics are logical systems that do not allow the derivation of every formula from every contradiction.
These logics are useful in formalizing theories of how people do or should reason about fictional stories, scientific theories, and their own beliefs.

The importance of paraconsistent logic also follows if, more contentiously, but as some people have argued, there are true contradictions (dialetheias), i.e., there are sentences, A, such that both A and ~A are true.
Paraconsistent logic is motivated not only by philosophical considerations, but also by its applications and implications.
Perhaps the simplest way of generating a paraconsistent logic, first proposed by Asenjo, is to use a many-valued logic, that is, a logic with more than two truth values.

 Logical Pluralism | Log
This situation has the absurd consequence that one might concede that the conclusion of an argument was true (since the argument had true premises and was truth-preserving); yet should refuse to infer the conclusion from the premises, in the absence of demonstration of the relevance of the premises to the conclusion.
His paper on the role of logic in AI is very clear, and contains an excellent discussion of the role of logic as a determiner of valdi inference, as opposed to logic as a tool for constructing or analysing derivations.
Different logics are given by choosing different syntactic units (is identity one of them? is necessity?) or by choosing different fixed interpretations of the syntactic units so chosen.

Our goal is not only to construct a logic with more appropriate paraconsistent properties, but also an attempt to find a new approach to a formalization of intuitionistic logic (only approach, not a final formalization).
Note that paraconsistent logics without mentioned paradoxical property are well known, e.g., Sette’s maximal paraconsistent logic [5] Da Costa’s logics [6], and many others, but there is no connection between these logics and minimal logic.

Precise notion of paraconsistent logic seems to be important also when we consider the formula (Luk).
On the other hand, E.K.Voishvillo suggests to generalize the notion of paraconsistency: A logic is paraconsistent, if there is no finite set of formulae from which an arbitrary formula B is derivable in this logic.

 Logics of Formal Inconsistency - Carnielli, Coniglio, Marcos (ResearchIndex)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Abstract: In traditional logic, contradictoriness (the presence of contradictions in a theory or in a body of knowledge) and triviality (the fact that such a theory entails all possible consequences) are assumed inseparable, granted that negation is available.
This is an effect of an ordinary logical feature known as `explosiveness': According to it, from a contradiction `$\alpha$ and $ eg\alpha$' everything is derivable.

Due to the complexity of many paraconsistent logics relative to classical logic, there are two practical concerns.
One way of simplifying paraconsistent logic, for these purposes, is to focus on the core arguments it is likely to be used to formalize.
We are also able to simplify the axiomatizations for those logics that are metacomplete, and even further for their first-degree fragment.

Many systems of paraconsistent logics were already proposed using different methods and techniques.
I examine the plurality of ways which can be used to create a paraconsistent logic: defining paraconsistent negations in the language (Beziau's argument showing how to generate paraconsistent logics from modal logics and vice-versa), by restrictions in the axioms (the example of some modal paraconsistent logics) and changing valuations (many-valued logics).
I apply my methodology to some modal logics and many-valued logics in order to justify the paraconsistentization and, jumping into abstraction, the creation of a general theory of the combination of logics.

A non-trivializable, or paraconsistent, logic is, by necessity, a compromise, or weakening, of classical logic.
The compromises on QC logic seem to be more appropriate than other paraconsistent logics for applications in computing.
Here we motivate the need for QC logic, present a proof theory, and semantics for the logic, and compare it to other paraconsistent logics.

A logic is paraconsistent if it disallows such presupposition, and allows instead for some inconsistent yet non-trivial theories to make perfect sense.
The Logics of Formal Inconsistency, LFIs, form a particularly expressive class of paraconsistent logics in which the metatheoretical notion of consistency can be internalized at the object-language level.
A formal abstract approach is proposed to all related definitions and an extended investigation is made into the logical principles and the positive and negative properties of negation.

 On Partial and Paraconsistent Logics, Reinhard Muskens   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
In this paper we consider the theory of predicate logics in which the principle of bivalence or the principle of noncontradiction or both fail.
Such logics are partial or paraconsistent or both.
The paper shows that many techniques used for classical predicate logic generalize to partial and paraconsistent logics once the right setup is chosen.
