SUMMARY

The discussion centers on learning non-axiomatic logics, primarily attributed to Pei Wang. Participants highlight that non-axiomatic systems differ from axiomatic systems by acknowledging the insufficiency of knowledge and adapting accordingly. A recommended resource is Wang's paper titled "Cognitive Logic versus Mathematical Logic," which delves into the implications of non-axiomatic reasoning in artificial intelligence. Additionally, searching for "non-axiomatic reasoning system" yields better educational resources.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of non-axiomatic logics
  • Familiarity with Pei Wang's contributions to the field
  • Basic knowledge of artificial intelligence concepts
  • Ability to analyze academic papers
NEXT STEPS
  • Read Pei Wang's paper "Cognitive Logic versus Mathematical Logic"
  • Research non-axiomatic reasoning systems
  • Explore the scientific method as an example of non-axiomatic logic
  • Investigate the differences between inductive reasoning and non-axiomatic reasoning
USEFUL FOR

Researchers, students, and professionals interested in artificial intelligence, logic theory, and those seeking to understand the principles of non-axiomatic reasoning.

Does anybody know a good source for learning about non-axiomatic logics?
I found just one name Pei Wang.
Thanks in advance.

The scientific method is the best example of a non-axiomatic logic I can think of.

I have no idea what a non-axiomatic logic is, but in trying to find out, googling 'non-axiomatic reasoning system' gives better results.
Yeah, that's what I found too: basically work by one person named Pei Wang. I guess one difference between axiomatic and non-axiomatic as described by him is that axiomatic systems assume knowledge provided through premises to be sufficient, while non-axiomatic systems take insufficiency of knowledge as the ground fact, they learn and adapt. A better paper by him that I found (if anybody is interested) is Cognitive Logic versus Mathematical logic.
 
I only glanced at the pages. It seemed to be something about artificial intelligence. Did you read enough to see if or how it's different from plain ol' inductive reasoning?
 
citeseer has a paper,
