On Béziau’s logic Z
Hitoshi Omori, Toshiharu Waragai · Logic and Logical Philosophy · 2009
In [1] Béziau developed the paraconsistent logic Z, which is definitionally equivalent to the modal logic S5 (cf. Remark 2.3), and gave an axiomatization of the logic Z: the system HZ. In the present paper, we prove that some axioms of HZ are not independent and then propose another axiomatization of Z. We also discuss a new perspective on the relation between S5 and classical propositional logic (CPL) with the help of the new axiomatization of Z. Then we conclude the paper by making a remark on the paraconsistency of HZ.
