Synopsis

Although modal and trivalued, causal logic, already described in two books by the same author, is extensional, fully encompasses classical binary logic, respects the principles of the excluded middle and non-contradiction in this framework, and offers an adequate formal model of the logic of everyday language. The aim of this new book is to explain in greater depth why the violation of the principle of causality must be recognised as the original plague common to most logical paradoxes, to present causal logic in a more concise and simpler way than that adopted previously, and to reapply this logic to the study of several well-known paradoxes, as well as to the analysis of three of the monumental curiosities of modern logic, namely Cantor's diagonal argument, Russell's paradox, and Gödel's incompleteness theorem.

About Jean-Paul BENTZ

Jean-Paul BENTZ
L’auteur, né en 1947 et physicien de formation, a exercé son activité professionnelle dans le domaine de la propriété industrielle et intellectuelle, se consacrant principalement à l’évaluation et à la protection juridique de l’innovation technique. Sa passion ancienne pour la logique et les problèmes abstraits en tous genres l’avait, depuis longtemps déjà, irrémédiablement condamné à figurer un jour sur la liste des victimes (consentantes !) de la vague d’engouement pour le Sudoku qui, en quelques années, a submergé le monde entier.
