Logic & AI
Arnaldo Pérez Castaño · Apress eBooks · 2018
In this chapter, we’ll introduce a topic that is vital not only to the world of artificial intelligence (AI) but also to many other areas of knowledge, such as mathematics, physics, medicine, philosophy, and so on. It has been deeply studied and formalized since ancient times by great philosophers like Aristotle, Euclid, and Plato and by some of the greatest mathematicians of all time. Born in the early ages of mankind, it represents a basic tool that allowed science to flourish up to the point where it is today. It clarifies and straightens our complicated human minds and brings order to our sometimes disordered thoughts.
