Culture, Dialectics, and Reasoning about Contradiction
Chinese ways of dealing with seeming contradictions result in a dialectical or compromise approach— retaining basic elements of opposing perspectives by seeking a “middle way.” European-American ways, on the other hand, deriving from a lay version of Aristotelian logic, result in a differentiation model that polarizes contradictory perspectives in an effort to determine which fact or position i...
متن کاملContradiction in universal and particular reasoning.
A wide range of essential reasoning tasks rely on contradiction identification, a cornerstone of human rationality, communication and debate founded on the inversion of the logical operators "Every" and "Some." A high-density electroencephalographic (EEG) study was performed in 11 normal young adults. The cerebral network involved in the identification of contradiction included the orbito-front...
متن کاملStable Closures, Defeasible Logic and Contradiction Tolerant Reasoning
A solution to the Yale shooting problem has been previously proposed that uses so-called non-normal defaults. This approach produces a single extension. One disadvantage, however, is . that new conflicting information causes the extension to collapse. In this paper we propose a new formal counterpart to the intuitive notion of a reasonable set of beliefs. The new formalization reduces to the pr...
متن کاملReasoning about Student Knowledge and Reasoning
A basic feature of Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITS) is their ability to represent domain knowledge that can be attributed to the student at each stage of the learning process. In this paper we present a general (first order logic) framework for the representation of this kind of knowledge acquired by the system through the analysis of the student answers. This represantation makes it possible...
متن کاملUpdates by Reasoning about States Updates by Reasoning about States *
We present a language extension to Datalog which allows to specify deterministic update procedures in a declarative way. Existing update languages either rely on procedural aspects of program evaluation or leave the framework of deductive databases and logic programming. In contrast, we show that declarative update semantics can be attained by incorporating state terms into the language. Since ...
