Resumo: Neste artigo analisamos as críticas apresentadas por George Berkeley, em The analyst (1734), ao método das fluxões e à inconsistência intrínseca à noção de infinitésimo do cálculo diferencial e integral, introduzido por Isaac... more
Resumen El propósito de este artículo es mostrar el modo en que Borges, en su relato Tigres azules, desarrolla varias ideas interesantes en torno a la lógica, el lenguaje y las matemáticas. El punto de partida es el escepti-cismo borgeano... more
The Judiciary uses information technology through database that distributes information to stakeholders, using the Internet, about the progress of processes or the content of judicial decisions and other administrative matters of... more
The present work is devoted to the exploration of some formal possibilities suggesting, since some years, the possibility to elaborate a new, whole geometry, relative to the concept of “opposition”. The latter concept is very important... more
This article introduces, studies, and applies a new system of logic which is called 'HYPE'. In HYPE, formulas are evaluated at states that may exhibit truth value gaps (partiality) and truth value gluts (overdeterminedness). Simple and... more
French philosopher Gilles Deleuze wrote two 'logic' books: Francis Bacon: The Logic of Sensation and The Logic of Sense. However, in neither of these books nor in any other works does Deleuze articulate in a formal way the features of the... more
Jan Łukasiewicz’ work on Aristotle and the principle of non-contradiction, originally published in 1910, presents one of the first and truly pioneering investigation into the logical and metaphysical foundations of this principle.... more
An interpretation of Wittgenstein’s much criticized remarks on Gödel’s First Incompleteness Theorem is provided in the light of paraconsistent arithmetic: in taking Gödel’s proof as a paradoxical derivation, Wittgenstein was drawing the... more
A dialetheia is a sentence, A, such that both it and its negation, ¬A, are true (we shall talk of sentences throughout this entry; but one could run the definition in terms of propositions, statements, or whatever one takes as her... more
In this paper I describe how several notions and constructions in topos logic can be dualized, giving rise to complement-toposes with their paraconsistent internal logic, instead of the usual standard toposes with their intuitionistic... more
Foucault famously questioned the humor, and possibly deceit, at the heart of Deleuze’s philosophy by asserting its sincerity and seriousness. In this paper I address how humor and sincerity, and thereby truth and falsity, are... more
This article introduces, studies, and applies a new system of logic which is called 'HYPE'. In HYPE, formulas are evaluated at states that may exhibit truth value gaps (partiality) and truth value gluts (overdeterminedness). Simple and... more
Paper presented at the congress Nikolai Vasiliev's Logical Legacy and Modern Logic October 24-25, 2012, Moscow, Russia to appear in D.Zaitsev (ed), Nikolai Vasiliev's Logical Legacy and Modern Logic, Springer, Dordrecht, 2015. In this... more
Este trabajo se centra en la discusión sobre la disyunción de Gödel, así como las posiciones antimecanicistas que surgen de los teoremas de Gödel, en el escenario actual de la pluralidad de la lógica. El trabajo está motivado por dos... more
In their article ‘The Way of the Dialetheist: Contradictions in Buddhism’, Deguchi, Garfield and Priest argue that some (though not all) of the contradictions that appear in Buddhist texts should be accepted. An examination of their... more
This article is focused on answering the question to what extent one can be a sceptic. Sextus Empiricus’s Outlines of Scepticism serves as a guide. In section 1, it is investigated whether three logical laws have a certain foundation or... more
Esta investigación ontológica aborda lo relativo al existir: qué es el existir; qué es aquello de lo que cabe decir que es o existe; si hay sentidos irreducibles de ese verbo `existir'; qué sea el no-existir -lo cual conduce al problema... more
This essay builds on my ongoing research on spiritual practices as foundation of an experimental ontology in the wake of the phenomenological tradition of the 20th century. In order to exemplify the categorical and logical foundations of... more

Nicephorus Blemmydes' symmetric formula "through each other" proposed instead of the Filioque in the 1250s belongs to the Cappadocian tradition of Triadology. This conclusion is not demonstrable from a habitual (in patrology) philological... more
The most formal Byzantine explanation of paraconsistent logic applied to the Trinity.
NB! I am unable to add here the picture in a good resolution, alas.

Morgan Thomas has recently shown that a family of naïve set theories based on Asenjo-Priest's "logic of paradox" (LP) and other related logics suffer from serious expressive limitations. At first sight these results could seem a serious... more
In this paper, I examine the possibility that recent developments in non-classical and paraconsistent logics might offer us a way to better understand the 'paradoxical', yet strikingly coherent nature of Cusanus' philosophical method for... more
As a general theory of reasoning—and as a general theory of what holds true under every possible circumstance—logic is supposed to be ontologically neutral. It ought to have nothing to do with questions concerning what there is, or... more
Classical propositional logic can be characterized, indirectly , by means of a complementary formal system whose theorems are exactly those formulas that are not classical tautologies, i.e., contradictions and truth-functional... more
Realist dialetheism is the view that there are contradictions in reality. One argument against this idea says that it is impossible because it has to make room for the possibility of a trivial reality, which is metaphysically impossible.... more
En mi tesis doctoral defiendo un concepto de condicional derrotable para las normas similar, aunque no idéntico, al de C. Alchourrón y propongo un concepto de consecuencia falible que permite hacer inferencias no deductivas a partir de... more
A logic for inconsistent mathematics must be strong enough to support reasoning in proofs, while weak enough to avoid paradoxes. We present a substructural logic intended to meet the needs of a working dialetheic... more
In recent editions of this journal, Jean-Yves Beziau [8] and Marcin Tkaczyk [42] have criticised a prominent dialetheic logic and common arguments for dialetheism, respectively. While Beziau argues that Priest's logic LP commits the... more
Do truth tables—the ordinary sort that we use to teach and explain basic propositional logic—require an assumption of consistency for their construction? In this essay we show that truth tables can be built in a consistency-‐independent... more
Joseph Bryennios in his 1421-22 homilies on the Trinity made explicit the paraconsistent nature of numbering in the Trinity.
Alan Darley has implored Radical Orthodoxy to become " more radically Thomistic " by recovering the law of non-contradiction that has lately been lost by Milbank, Pickstock, and Hoff in a " Cusanian tributary from the Neoplatonic river ".... more
The goals of this paper are two-fold: I wish to clarify the Aristotelian conception of the law of non-contradiction as a metaphysical rather than a semantic or logical principle, and to defend the truth of the principle in this sense.... more
We examine the relationship between the logics of nonsense of Bochvar and Halldén and the containment logics in the neighborhood of William Parry’s AI. We detail two strategies for manufacturing containment logics from nonsense... more
In his famous work on vagueness, Russell named “fallacy of verbalism” the fallacy that consists in mistaking the properties of words for the properties of things. In this paper, I examine two (clusters of) mainstream paraconsistent... more
Is there a notion of contradiction – let us call it, for dramatic effect, “absolute” – making all contradictions, so understood, unacceptable also for dialetheists? It is argued in this paper that there is, and that spelling it out brings... more
