Abstract

We basically discuss the adequacy of paraconsistent logics for knowledge representation. The specific problem being investigated, in a preliminary manner, is that of the formalization (by a logic) of reasoning in the presence of contradictions. In doing this, we examine various logical principles underlying some rival paraconsistent logics in order to provide indications for determining whether a particular paraconsistent logic is appropriate (in general or in special cases) for application to knowledge representation. We also argue in what way paraconsistent logics have advantages over other approaches to automated reasoning from inconsistent knowledge bases.
