For centuries, inconsistencies were seen as a hindrance to good
reasoning, and their role in the sciences was ignored. However,
logicians as well as philosophers and historians have shown a
growing interest in the matter. Central to this change were the
advent of paraconsistent logics, the shift in attention from
finished theories to construction processes, and the recognition
that most scientific theories were at some point either internally
inconsistent or incompatible with other accepted findings. The
interest gave rise to important questions. How is "logical anarchy"
avoided? Is it ever rational to accept an inconsistent theory? In
what sense, if any, can inconsistent theories be considered as
true? This collection of papers examines such questions. It
contains case studies as well as philosophical analyses, and
presents an excellent overview of the different approaches in the
domain.
