Can Paraconsistency Replace Non-Monotonicity?
Luis Estrada‐González, Claudia Olmedo-García · 2009
In this position paper we reconstruct and evaluate three arguments by Jean-Yves Beziau put forward to show that paraconsistent logics may replace non-monotonic logics in the analysis of situations what the latter were created for, namely updating of databases by increment of information. As originally put forward they might seem too colorful or unserious and easily dismissible, but they really call into question the foundations of non-monotonic logic. We will show that non-monotonic logic may go off well of Beziau’s challenging arguments, though.
