Consistency, Paraconsistency and Truth: Logic, the Whole Logic and Nothing but 'the' Logic
Newton Costa da, Otávio Bueno · DOAJ (DOAJ: Directory of Open Access Journals) · 1996
After examining some components of a framework articulated in terms of general remarks on logic (in which two inadequate views of it are critically investigated), we present some arguments to the effect that a fallibilist, pluralist, though certainly not relativist, proposal might be interestingly pursued. Based on this proposal, we argue for a comprehensive agnosticism in connection to some issues raised by paraconsistency (in particular with regard to the existence of true contradictions). Such an agnosticism, not being phiiosophically committed to any particular interpretative claims surrounding paraconsistency, seems to be at the moment more adequate than the alternative proposals.
