Springer - Alternative Logics. Do Sciences Need Them? Book

Explore the evolving relationship between logic and scientific advancement with Alternative Logics. Do Sciences Need Them? published by Springer. This volume examines whether the application of logic in modern sciences, particularly in fields like quantum physics, computer science, and artificial intelligence, necessitates a move away from classical mathematical logic. This collection is organized into two distinct parts to guide the reader through the complex debate. The first part provides necessary context, describing the specific dilemmas encountered when applying traditional logic to scientific frameworks. The second part moves into practical applications, where authors present various logics that deviate from classical models in different ways. Whether you are researching the foundations of computer science or studying the logical requirements of modern physics, this book addresses the fundamental question of how scientific progress shapes our understanding of logic. It serves as a deep dive into the theoretical shifts occurring across multiple scientific disciplines.
