Resumo: The paradox of the black ravens proposed by Carl Hempel is a problem if it is analyzed from standard logic. This is so because the equivalences in that logic can lead one to think that individuals should carry out certain actions that they do not usually do. In this paper, I show that, if we assume frameworks other than standard logic, the problem disappears, since those same actions are not expected. In particular, I use as examples two approaches: that of Stoic logic and that of the mental models theory.

Isto é assim porque as equivalências nessa lógica pode levar a pensar que os indivíduos devem realizar determinadas ações que eles não costumam fazer. Neste artigo, vou mostrar que, se ignorarmos a lógica padrão e assumirmos outros sistemas, o problema desaparece, uma vez que essas mesmas ações não são esperadas. Em particular, eu uso como exemplos duas abordagens: a da lógica estoica e a da teoria dos modelos mentais.Universidade Federal do Ceará2017-02-20info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionPeer-reviewed Articleapplication/pdfhttp://periodicos.ufc.br/argumentos/article/view/19140Argumentos - Revista de Filosofia; No 16Argumentos - Periódico de Filosofia; Núm. 16Argumentos - Revista de Filosofia; n. 161984-42551984-4247reponame:Argumentos : Revista de Filosofia (Online)instname:Universidade Federal do Ceará (UFC)instacron:UFCporhttp://periodicos.ufc.br/argumentos/article/view/19140/29858Copyright (c) 2017 Argumentos - Revista de Filosofiainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessLópez-Astorga, Miguel2021-03-13T20:23:05Zoai:periodicos.ufc:article/19140Revistahttp://www.filosofia.ufc.br/argumentosPUBhttp://periodicos.ufc.br/argumentos/oaiargumentos@ufc.br||1984-42551984-4247opendoar:2021-03-13T20:23:05Argumentos : Revista de Filosofia (Online) - Universidade Federal do Ceará (UFC)false
