Using interrogative logic to teach classical logic
نویسنده
چکیده
In the paper I discuss a tool for helping students in their symbolizations of natural language sentences using the formal language of classical first order logic (CFOL). The tool is an extension of Hintikka’s concept of (Inquirer’s) range of attention in the context of interrogative games. Any given text is reconstructed as the answer to a “big” or principal question obtained through the answers of a series of “small” or operative questions. The tool brings some “narrative flavor” to the symbolization and offers a convenient mold that can be used by students in many different contexts. 1998 ACM Subject Classification "F.4.1 Knowledge Representation Formalisms and Methods"

Truth Values and Connectives in Some Non-Classical Logics
The question as to whether the propositional logic of Heyting, which was a formalization of Brouwer's intuitionistic logic, is finitely many valued or not, was open for a while (the question was asked by Hahn). Kurt Gödel (1932) introduced an infinite decreasing chain of intermediate logics, which are known nowadays as Gödel logics, for showing that the intuitionistic logic is not finitely (man...
متن کاملDistributed Contingency Logic and Security
In information security, ignorance is not bliss. It is always stated that hiding the protocols (let the other be ignorant about it) does not increase the security of organizations. However, there are cases that ignorance creates protocols. In this paper, we propose distributed contingency logic, a proper extension of contingency (ignorance) logic. Intuitively, a formula is distributed contingen...
متن کاملAn Executive Approach Based On the Production of Fuzzy Ontology Using the Semantic Web Rule Language Method (SWRL)
Today, the need to deal with ambiguous information in semantic web languages is increasing. Ontology is an important part of the W3C standards for the semantic web, used to define a conceptual standard vocabulary for the exchange of data between systems, the provision of reusable databases, and the facilitation of collaboration across multiple systems. However, classical ontology is not enough ...
متن کاملFuel consumption optimization of a series hybrid electric vehicle utilizing fuzzy logic control
The controller of the hybrid electric vehicle determines the combustion engine start-stop time, the operation points, and regenerative brake energy. The Controlling approach of hybrid electric vehicles controls the amount of needed fuel in every driving situation. In the present study, the thermostat strategy is implemented along with fuzzy logic control and compared to the classic thermostat s...
متن کاملSOFT TOPOLOGY AND SOFT PROXIMITY AS FUZZY PREDICATES BY FORMULAE OF LUKASIEWICZ LOGIC
In this paper, based in the L ukasiewicz logic, the definition offuzzifying soft neighborhood structure and fuzzifying soft continuity areintroduced. Also, the fuzzifying soft proximity spaces which are ageneralizations of the classical soft proximity spaces are given. Severaltheorems on classical soft proximities are special cases of the theorems weprove in this paper.
