Definition
Classical propositional logic is that branch of propositional logic based on Aristotelian logic, with tenets:
- A statement must be either true or false, and there can be no middle value (law of excluded middle)
- A statement cannot be both true and not true at the same time, i.e. cannot contradict itself (principle of non-contradiction)
Notes
- Consider the formal language of propositional logic which, endowed with deductive apparatus (axioms and rules of inference), is made into a formal system
