Abstract

In this paper we review some of the main ideas of two previous papers of ours which deal with an application of a kind of paraconsistent logic to quantum physics [14, 15]. We think that this revision is justified to present once more the richness of paraconsistent logics and suggests a way of dealing with one of most intriguing concepts of quantum theory. We propose and interpretation of complementarity in terms of what we call \(\mathcal {C}\)-theories (theories involving the idea of complementarity, in a sense explained in the text), whose underlying logic is a kind of paraconsistent logic termed paraclassical logic. Roughly speaking, \(\mathcal {C}\)-theories which may have ‘physically’ incompatible theorems (and, in particular, contradictory theorems), but which are not trivial.
