Propositional Logic Explained Simply: Learn with Easy Examples

Propositional Logic Artificial Intelligence (AI) uses formal logic systems to mimic human reasoning. Of these systems, Propositional Logic is one of the pillars of knowledge representation and reasoning. Although it’s a basic and well-defined type of logic, it provides an entrance point for grasping more sophisticated logical frameworks in AI, such as First-Order Logic, Description Logic, and so forth. This blog post discusses propositional logic’s syntax, semantics, proof systems, resolution, Horn clauses, computability, and complexity, and its applications are limited in AI. What is Propositional Logic? Propositional logic, also referred to as propositional calculus or sentential logic, is concerned with propositions, i.e., declarative sentences that are true or false but not both. It does not include variables and quantifiers, unlike predicate logic. Propositional logic, in the case of AI, is applied to represent basic knowledge and deduce new facts based on current facts with the a...
