New Directions in Paraconsistent Logic

The present book discusses all aspects of paraconsistent logic, including the latest findings, and its various systems. It includes papers by leading international researchers, which address the subject in many different ways: development of abstract paraconsistent systems and new theorems about them; studies of the connections between these systems and other non-classical logics, such as non-monotonic, many-valued, relevant, paracomplete and fuzzy logics; philosophical interpretations of these constructions; and applications to other sciences, in particular quantum physics and mathematics. Reasoning with contradictions is the challenge of paraconsistent logic. The book will be of interest to graduate students and researchers working in mathematical logic, computer science, philosophical logic, linguistics and physics.

Presents the latest findings by experts in the field of paraconsistent logic Examines all aspects of paraconsistent logic Describes various paraconsistent logic systems Emphasizes interdisciplinary aspects of mathematics, philosophy, computer science, artificial intelligence and linguistics Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras

He has about 150 research papers to his credit in several international journals and edited volumes, co-authored one book A Geometry of Approximation (Springer), authored three books in vernacular Bengali on philosophy of mathematics, and co-edited several scientific publications. A member of the editorial board of several international journals and a book series Logic in Asia: Studia Logic Library (Springer), Professor Chakraborty's areas of research are non-standard logics, rough set theory, fuzzy set theory, reasoning in uncertainty and vagueness, logic of diagrams, topology/functional analysis, and philosophy of mathematics. He also supervised 16 PhD students. Professor Chakraborty is founder of Calcutta Logic Circle, Association for Logic in India, Indian Society for Fuzzy Mathematics and Information Processing and member of the advisory board of International Rough Set Society and Indian Rough Set Society.

SOMA DUTTA did her master and doctoral research at the Department of Pure Mathematics, University of Calcutta, India. Her doctoral research is about a theory of graded consequence, a field of study closely related to fuzzy logic, initiated by her PhD supervisor Mihir Kumar Chakraborty. Her research interests also include paraconsistent logics and generalized quantifiers. She has been associated with The Institute of Mathematical Sciences, Chennai, India, as a postdoctoral fellow. Presently, she has a fellowship of European Research Consortium for Informatics and Mathematics (ERCIM) to pursue postdoctoral research at the Faculty of Mathematics, Informatics and Mechanics, University of Warsaw, Poland.
