The Genesis of Logic
Springer International Publishing (Verlag)
978-3-031-55039-3 (ISBN)
The Genesis of Logic addresses the principles of common-sense reasoning, which are employed in everyday decision-making processes and extend beyond deductive reasoning alone. Linked to language, logic inherits its flexibility. These are a few laws, the 'formal skeleton of reasoning,' based on the relationship of linguistic inference that, while needing to be represented in each context, allow for the consideration of non-comparable, orthogonal statements. By facilitating deduction and abduction, speculation emerges as a fundamental intellectual operation. As a whole, this work offers a new genetic-evolutionary perspective to reconsider Logic, a panoramic outlook that examines laws outside the skeleton as local laws, necessary for the validity of specialized reasoning. It moves away from the rigid reticular structure of sets of statements and views induction as the search for speculations, non-monotonic reasoning as speculative, and conjecture, only proven in finite Boolean algebras,that reasoning involves following paths of inference in a zigzag pattern, alternating between deduction and abduction.
Enric Trillas is a Spanish scientist specializing in fuzzy logic and artificial intelligence.

Edy Portmann is the Swiss Post Professor of Computer Science at the University of Fribourg, Switzerland. His professorship aims to advance cognitive computing research by utilizing soft computing methods and applying them in various fields, supported by network industries like Swiss Post. The focus is on enhancing user experiences, particularly in the context of smart and cognitive cities, through improved interaction, learning, and integration of computing with words and perceptions. Additional areas of interest include knowledge aggregation, automation, representation, reasoning using fuzzy cognitive maps and ontologies, as well as big data analytics and management utilizing fuzzy methods and systems.
