The Logical Conflicts

Introduction

Many authors use the term "logical conflict" when they speak of contradictions. We all know what is a logical conflict.  However, the impression is that nobody defined this term as a concept. Thinking about it, below I present my approach.

Definitions 

Logical Reasoning 

Logical Reasoning is a kind of discursive operation of thought that consisting in the interrelation of two or more statements, called premises or axioms, for them extract a new declaration, called the conclusion, which correspond to a reality possible. 

Logical Conflict 

A Logical Conflict occurs when the relationship between two or more statements, called premises or axioms, resulting in a new declaration, called the conclusion, which correspond to a meaning problem or value judgment problem.

Types of Logical Conflicts

1. Logical conflict of ascension (ascensio)

Occurs when the relationship between two or more statements, called premises or axioms, resulting in a new declaration, with positive value judgment, called the conclusion, which correspond to a dramatic reality.

Example: "He was stupid. Now he is intelligent".


2. Logical conflict of regression (regressio)


Occurs when the relationship between two or more statements, called premises or axioms, resulting in a new declaration, with negative value judgment, called the conclusion, which correspond to a dramatic reality.

Example: "He was smart. Now he's stupid".


3. Logical conflict of reversion (reversio)

Occurs when the relationship between two or more statements, called premises or axioms, resulting in a new declaration, without value judgment, called the conclusion, which correspond to a reality possible.

Example: "He became smart. Now he's returned to be stupid".


4. Logical conflict of conversion (conversio)

Occurs when the relationship between two or more statements, called premises or axioms, resulting in a new declaration, with value judgment, called the conclusion, which correspond to a reality possible.

Example: "That's iron. But it valley gold".


5. Logical conflict of inversion (inversio)

Occurs when the relationship between two or more statements, called premises or axioms, resulting in a new declaration, with value judgment of state, called the conclusion, which correspond to a reality possible.

Example: "He was going to the up. Now he turned to the down".


6. Logical conflict of alteration (alteratio)

Occurs when the relationship between two or more statements, called premises or axioms, resulting in a new declaration, without value judgment of state, called the conclusion, which correspond to a reality possible.

Example: "He was sitting. He is now recumbent".


7. Logical conflict of modification (modificatio)

Occurs when the relationship between two or more statements, called premises or axioms, resulting in a new declaration, without value judgment of substance, called the conclusion, which correspond to a reality possible.

Example: "It was blue. It turned red".


8. Logical conflict of transformation (transformatio)

Occurs when the relationship between two or more statements, called premises or axioms, resulting in a new declaration, with value judgment of substance, called the conclusion, which correspond to a reality possible.

Example: "It was coal. Now it's diamond".


9. Logical conflict of maximization (maximizatio)

Occurs when the relationship between two or more statements, called premises or axioms, resulting in a new declaration, with exaggerated value judgment, called the conclusion, which correspond to a reality possible.

Example: "This is a storm in glass of water".


10. Logical conflict of minimization (minimizatio)

Occurs when the relationship between two or more statements, called premises or axioms, resulting in a new declaration, with value judgment diminished, called the conclusion, which correspond to a reality possible.

Example: "This is bad. But it could be worse".


11. Logical conflict of polarization (polarizatio)

Occurs when the relationship between two or more statements, called premises or axioms, resulting in a new declaration, with value judgment ambiguous, called the conclusion, which correspond to a reality possible.

Example: "If I am not a total success, I will be a failure".


12. Logical conflict of opposition (contrariae)

Occurs when the relationship between two or more statements, self-excludent, called premises or axioms, preclude the emergence of a new declaration, called the conclusion, which correspond to a reality possible.

Example: "Want to gain weight and do not want to eat".


13. Logical conflict of mutation (mutatio) 

Occurs when the relationship between two or more statements, called premises or axioms, resulting in a reversal of the meaning, called the conclusion, which correspond to a reality comic.

Example: "Very clever. Took zero".


14. Logical conflict of contradiction (contradictio) 

Occurs when the relationship between two or more statements, called premises or axioms, resulting in a new declaration, meaningless, called the conclusion, which correspond to a reality impossible.

Example: "A circle square".


15. Logical conflict of divination (paradoxum)

Occurs when the relationship between two or more statements, called premises or axioms, resulting in a new declaration, apparently meaningless, called the conclusion, which correspond to a reality possible.

Example: "No man ever steps in the same river twice".
