Aristotle's Organon introduces his theory of syllogisms, which is a logic with a restricted form of
judgments: assertions take one of four forms, All Ps are Q, Some Ps are Q, No Ps are Q, and
Some Ps are not Q. These judgments find themselves if two pairs of two dual operators, and
each operator is the negation of another, relationships that Aristotle summarised with his
square of oppositions. Aristotle explicitly formulated the law of the excluded middle and law of
non-contradiction in justifying his system, although these laws cannot be expressed as

With the advent of algebraic logic it became apparent however that classical propositional calculus

admits other semantics. In Boolean-valued semantics (for classical propositional logic), the truth

values are the elements of an arbitrary Boolean algebra; "true" corresponds to the maximal

element of the algebra, and "false" corresponds to the minimal element. Intermediate elements of

the algebra correspond to truth values other than "true" and "false". The principle of bivalence

holds only when the Boolean algebra is taken to be the two-element algebra, which has no

intermediate elements.

Main article: Non-classical logic


Computability logic is a semantically constructed formal theory of computabilityas opposed to
classical logic, which is a formal theory of truthintegrates and extends classical, linear and
intuitionistic logics.
Many-valued logic, including fuzzy logic, which rejects the law of the excluded middle and allows
as a truth value any real number between 0 and 1.
Intuitionistic logic rejects the law of the excluded middle, double negative elimination, and the
De Morgan's laws;
Linear logic rejects idempotency of entailment as well;
Modal logic extends classical logic with non-truth-functional ("modal") operators.
Paraconsistent logic (e.g., dialetheism and relevance logic) rejects the law of noncontradiction;
Relevance logic, linear logic, and non-monotonic logic reject monotonicity of entailment;
In Deviant Logic, Fuzzy Logic: Beyond the Formalism, Susan Haack divided non-classical logics
into deviant, quasi-deviant, and extended logics.[5]
