Gabriele Pulcini (New University of Lisbon): From Complementary Logic to Proof-Theoretic Semantics
@ Columbia U Philosophy Dept. 716

Complementary systems come as a particular kind of refutation calculi whose patterns of inference always work by inferring unprovable conclusions form unprovable premises.

The Chinese thinker Jiang Qing in turn[...]
