Title

RELEVANCE LOGIC: SOME VIEWS

Abstract

“Logic” is the science which studies and investigates the principles of correct reasoning. It gives us a tool to distinguish good reasoning from bad reasoning; to distinguish valid arguments from invalid arguments. The question intrigued me as to what should be the criteria for the validity of an argument; based on which criteria can one say that the conclusion follows from the premises. “Entailment” is the relation which is the converse of the relation of deducibility. However, the nature of “entailment” is not very clear. There is an ongoing research to find the criteria for the validity of an argument and to clarify the nature of “entailment”. There are differences of opinion amongst logicians regarding the nature of entailment. Different logicians like Russell and Lewis define the notion differently. Alan Ross Anderson and Nuel D. Belnap Jr., both American logicians and Professors of Philosophy at Yale University and the University of Pittsburgh, together were instrumental in the development of Relevance Logic. They uphold the view that the condition of relevance is an indispensable one for entailment and validity. They claim that in case of entailment the antecedent and the consequent be relevant to each other, and that in case of validity what is also required is that the premises must be relevant to the conclusion; hence the name Relevance logic. Apart from Anderson and Belnap there are some other philosophers, like E. J. Nelson, Baylis, Douglas Walton and Trudy Govier, to name a few, who think that relevance is a necessary condition for entailment.

Key Words
