physics.

Abstract

In this paper we make some general remarks on the use of
non-classical logics, in particular paraconsistent logic, in the
foundational analysis of physical theories. As a case-study, we
present a reconstruction of P.\ -D.\ F\'evrier's 'logic of
complementarity' as a strict three-valued logic and also a
paraconsistent version of it. At the end, we sketch our own
approach to complementarity, which is based on a paraconsistent
logic termed 'paraclassical logic'.
