{"product_id":"9781848900936","title":"Principles of Talmudic Logic","description":"This book puts forward new logical systems suitable for modelling Talmudic and Biblical reasoning and argumentation.\u003cp\u003eThe Talmud is very logical. It is said that when God gave Moses the Ten Commandments, He also gave him additional laws and rules of logic to enable human beings to derive more laws.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTogether with colleagues the authors have already written 8 books on the logic of the Talmud and the project will involve 15-20 volumes. The authors have discovered principles which can be exported to current research in scientific communities, as well as human common sense reasoning and laws as tackled by religious thinking.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTopics in this book include:\u003cbr\u003e1 Non-deductive Inference in the Talmud:\u003cbr\u003eThe book includes a new topological matrix method for analogical reasoning, completely new to existing AI methods which rely on metric distances.\u003cbr\u003e2 The Textual Inference Rules Klal uPrat. How the Bible Defines Sets:\u003cbr\u003eTraditional set theoretic methods for defining sets are either by enumeration of its elements or by a predicate formula. The biblical way is a common sense combination of the two, approximating the set from above and from below by predicates, supplemented by a small number of typical members of the set.\u003cbr\u003e3 Talmudic Deontic Logic:\u003cbr\u003eThe Talmud has its own Deontic Logic, free of the traditional paradoxes.\u003cbr\u003e4 Temporal Logic in the Talmud:\u003cbr\u003eThe Talmud allows for special conditionals with antecedents depending on the future and consequents valid in the present. This new type of logic allows for backwards causality and connects with aspects of Quantum Logic.\u003cbr\u003e5 Resolution of Conflicts and Normative Loops in the Talmud:\u003cbr\u003eThe book deals with Talmudic loop checking methods that can be widely applied to handling loops in AI and logic.\u003cbr\u003e6 Delegation and Representation in Talmudic Logic:\u003cbr\u003eTalmudic systems of delegation are innovative and apply to modern day to day computer delegation and access control.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book is of great interest to researchers in AI and Law, in Argumentation theory, and in Pure and Applied logical systems, as well as students of Talmudic reasoning and debate.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"College Publications","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47043349741808,"sku":"9781848900936","price":19.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781848900936_p0.jpg?v=1763751533","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781848900936","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
