Description | Over the last few decades, a distinct turn in logic took place. More and more logicians started to be interested in capturing the way in which we actually reason in our everyday problem solving as opposed to earlier tendency towards the way in which we should reason. This new trend brought many good things, but there were also many disadvantages. Mainly, large number of logical systems started to appear and the connections between them were not always clear. In response to that new type of systems arose that were focused on making these connections clearer. We briefly introduce one of them, specifically Gabbay's Labelled deductive systems (LDS). |
