Abstract
In this contribution, we try to show that traditional Aristotelian logic can be useful (in a non-trivial way) for computational thinking. To achieve this objective, we argue in favor of two statements: (i) that traditional logic is not classical and (ii) that logic programming emanating from traditional logic is not classical logic programming.
Highlights
We argue in favor of two claims: (i) that traditional logic is not classical logic, and (ii) that logic programming emerging from traditional logic is not classical logic programming
We have recovered some ideas of the traditional, Aristotelian logic in order to observe some of its qualities in the context of computational thinking
We have tried to take advantage of an educational gap within the typical computational thinking literature—namely, that traditional logic is missing—in order to suggest that good old logic can be useful for computational thinking
Summary
In this contribution, we try to take advantage of this educational gap in order to show that traditional logic can be useful (in a non-trivial way) for computational thinking. Syllogistic is a term logic that deals with inference between categorical statements (vide Appendix A), and from a larger point of view, it is an integral part of what we could call a basic corpus aristotelicum that, in turn, could be defined by the tuple A = h BE , BC , BO , BP , BL i
