ABSTRACT

As Chapter Three o f the proposed monograph, Sylvan intended to include material on the use o f pararelevant logics in the cognitive and computing sciences. The extant draft fragment o f this chapter is reproduced below. It was last worked on in July 1995. [Editors]

9.1 On the relevance of pararelevant logics to cognitive and computing science

Many of the applications outlined for logic and philosophy naturally extend to cognitive and computing science, to CS. Such an extension is hardly remarkable, as cognitive science is but an elaboration of epistemology (little more than jumped-up epistemology) and cognitive science is grounded in logic, the hardware of present machinery consisting of two-valued logic circuits, and much of the recent software involving logic programming.
