ABSTRACT

A new framework based on a non-classical logic is proposed for investigating IR. The paper motivates the use of a particular conditional logic as the 'right' logic for IR. A new principle, the logical uncertainty principle, is proposed, to deal with the inherent uncertainty associated with applicable inferences.
