不一致性在经验科学中扮演或应该扮演什么角色?这就是我将在本文中讨论的问题。这个问题并不是一个新问题,但现代形式副一致逻辑的发展对该主题产生了深远的影响。次相容逻辑学家已经意识到,他们的主题对经验科学及其哲学具有重要意义,1但对次相容逻辑应用的讨论主要集中在非经验领域,例如语义学和形而上学。因此,直接解决这个问题似乎是合适的。2
What role does, or should, inconsistency play in the empirical sciences? This is the question that I will address in this essay. The question is hardly a new one, but the development of modern formal paraconsistent logics has a profound impact on the subject. Paraconsistent logicians have realised that their subject has important implications for the empirical sciences and the philosophy thereof,1 but discussions of the applications of paraconsistent logic have focused largely on non-empirical areas, such as semantics and metaphysics. It therefore seems appropriate to address the question directly.2
