Does Logic Decolonization involve having a Relativistic approach to Logical Principles?

چکیده
The concept of “decolonization” has been widely and erroneously used to the point that it lost its meaning. Whenever decolonization is invoked, there seems be disagreement between universalist relativist camps. While debate continues, one can barely imagine a middle position where both camps could find synthesis. So question resonates from this is, does logic involves having relativistic approach logical principles? premise not universal, as paper acknowledges, because no divine right declare something true or incorrect. According paper, relativism, which universalism’s opposite, result in epistemic swapping system for another. In light issue, makes case logic/epistemic necessary, but only if entails integrating indigenous knowledge with Western system.

Inductive Logic Programming a logical approach to machine learning problems
Inductive logic and inductive reasoning are traditionally being studied in philosophy, for the very simple reason that yet no formalisation exists or any other universal consensus that would give both a status of their own. More recently however, induction has become of interest as well to artificial intelligence (AI), since it sets a comprehensive framework for artificial reasoning and learnin...
متن کاملA logical approach to the verification of functional-logic programs
We address in this paper the question of how to verify properties of functional logic programs like those of Curry or Toy. The main problem to face is that equational reasoning is not valid for this purpose, due to the possible presence of non-deterministic functions with call-time choice semantics. We develop some logical conceptual tools providing sound reasoning mechanisms for such kind of p...
متن کاملTeaching Logic to Linguists: the Logical Approach to Grammar
Natural Language Grammar can be viewed as a formal system in many aspects. The traditional way of presenting grammar to students as a set of morphosyntactic rules in order to speak a language correctly can be substituted profitably by formal models that explain the interfaces between morphology, syntax and semantics and even pragmatics. These models are based in most cases in logical models. Th...
متن کاملA Logical Approach to CTL
We introduce a notion of proof for CTL with respect to a given finite model and show some advantages of using such a notion. This also suggests to define a slight extension of CTL, called SCTL, where predicates can have an arbitrary arity.
متن کاملDoes learning to count involve a semantic induction?
We tested the hypothesis that, when children learn to correctly count sets, they make a semantic induction about the meanings of their number words. We tested the logical understanding of number words in 84 children that were classified as "cardinal-principle knowers" by the criteria set forth by Wynn (1992). Results show that these children often do not know (1) which of two numbers in their c...
