Colegas:
Uma nota interessante para aqueles que se dedicam a investigar a
questão da paraconsistência: Heinrich Wansing (Bochum) acaba de ser
ter seu projeto "Contradictory Logics: A Radical Challenge to Logical
Orthodoxy" com uma generosa 'grant' do European Research Council.
O projeto se dedica a investigar a fundo as logicass
paraconsistentess, que ele chama de "inconsistency-tolerant logics''
ou ainda "contradictory logics".
Nomes à parte, vejo isto como uma ótima evidência de que este tipo
de racionalidade seja reconhecido, não só na teoria como na prática:

"European Research Council Advanced Grant:
investigating non-trivial inconsistent logical systems.
ERC Advanced Grant Inconsistent logics
The project meets the challenge of a rigorous break with the
Aristotelian tradition.
The 20th century saw the development of numerous systems of
non-classical logic, including inconsistency-tolerant logics, all of
which are typically subsystems or linguistic extensions of classical
logic. However, logical systems exist that are radically different
from classical logic in that they are not only inconsistency-tolerant,
but non-trivial and contradictory. These logics are in striking
contrast to the logical orthodoxy since Aristotle, who called the
principle of non-contradiction the most certain of all principles.
Non-trivial contradictory logics not only allow inconsistencies in
theories, but contain provable contradictions.
Professor Heinrich Wansing’s ERC project Contradictory Logics: A
Radical Challenge to Logical Orthodoxy meets the challenge of this
rigorous break with the Aristotelian tradition by systematically
investigating and developing contradictory logics. When already the
underlying logic of a scientific theory exhibits provable
contradictions, this requires a paradigm shift in our understanding of
respectable logical systems and acceptable scientific theories. The
goal of the project is to gain a deep understanding of certain
non-trivial inconsistent logical systems. "
