A Channel Theoretic Approach to Conditional Reasoning

Institute for Communicating and Collaborative SystemsChannel Theory is a recently developed mathematical model of information flow, based on ideas emanating from situation theory.Channel theory addreses a number of important properties of information flow, such as context-dependence, modularity of information, and the possibility of error.This thesis is concerned with the use of channel theory as a formal framework for various constructs relating to conditional sentences. In particular,the main concern is to obtain logics for reasoning about conditionals,generics and default properties within the channel theoretic framework

Logic and Commonsense Reasoning: Lecture Notes

MasterThese are the lecture notes of a course on logic and commonsense reasoning given to master students in philosophy of the University of Rennes 1. N.B.: Some parts of these lectures notes are sometimes largely based on or copied verbatim from publications of other authors. When this is the case, these parts are mentioned at the end of each chapter in the section “Further reading”
