PARACONSISTENT NEWSLETTER - CHRISTMAS 2008 "It was easier for me to think of a world without creator than a creator loaded with all the contradictions of the world."
Guess who said that and win free vacations to the island of inconsistencies ! Decision between winners will be made on the basis of further information: title of the book and page number. The winner, if any, will be announced in the next newsletter. The quotation of the last newsletter was: "The ordinary man has always been sane because the ordinary man has always been a mystic. [...] He has always cared for truth more than for consistency. If he saw two truths that seemed to contradict each other, he would take the two truths and the contradiction along with them." The author is Gilbert Keith Chesterton http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G._K._Chesterton The winner is Marcelo Finger http://www.ime.usp.br/~mfinger/ We wish him happy holidays in the island of inconcistencies. ************************************************************* RECENT PUBLICATIONS OF INTEREST FOR PARACONSISTENT LOGICIANS M.Bremer, "Believing and asserting contradictions" Logique & Analyse, 200, 2007 W.A.
