Relational semantics for the 4-valued relevant logics BN4 and E4

Journal Title: Logic and Logical Philosophy - Year 2016, Vol 25, Issue 2

Abstract

The logic BN4 was defined by R.T. Brady in 1982. It can be considered as the 4-valued logic of the relevant conditional. E4 is a variant of BN4 that can be considered as the 4-valued logic of (relevant) entailment. The aim of this paper is to define reduced general Routley-Meyer semantics for BN4 and E4. It is proved that BN4 and E4 are strongly sound and complete w.r.t. their respective semantics.

The paper explores the proof theory of non-wellfounded mereology with binary fusions and provides a cut-free sequent calculus equivalent to the standard axiomatic system.

Composition, identity, and emergence

Composition as Identity (CAI) is the thesis that a whole is, strictly and literally, identical to its parts, considered collectively. McDaniel [2008] argues against CAI in that it prohibits emergent properties. Recently...

In this paper we explain that the paraconsistent logic LP (Logic of Paradox) promoted by Graham Priest can only be supported by trivial dialetheists, i.e., those who believe that all sentences are dialetheias.
