Re: [ontolog-forum] new logic

["Schiffel, Jeffrey A" <jeffrey.a.schiffel@xxxxxxxxxx>]

 

An admittedly quick review of the paper Paola mentions (below) suggests that this "new logic" is argumentation.

 

It was new, maybe, to Aristotle, as the posterior analytics portion of his rhetoric. It's not new today, and has applications in such areas as the law.

Subject: [ontolog-forum] new logic

I know it may deliberatelly stir up an old argument we ve had on this 
list

JSowa, and others, say that there is only one type of logic, 
FOL

I myself and others, without being able to prove just yet, say that 
there are different type of logic
(cant quite tell what I mean by that other 
than as already discussed, but I can observe it and then heard 
others
discussing it)

I am reading an interesting article that 
actually mentions 'new logic', that I though some on this list
might enjoy 
discussing (er... trashing?) , excerpt and link below


The new logic, 
the logic born of the application of the technical
sophistication of 
mathematical logic to the project of informal logic, has
triggered the very 
rapprochement that mathematical logic was not structured to
deliver or to 
seek. The new logic, whatever its various differences of mission
and detail, 
has sought for mathematically describable models of what human
agents 
actually do in real-life situations when they cogitated, 
reflected,
calculated and decided. Here was an approach that would in an 
essential way
take what mathematical logic would see as inert context into 
the theory itself,
where it would be directly engaged by the ensuing 
formalisms.” (Gabbay and
Woods 2001), pg. 143)
