Abstract

My goal is to emphasize the way we generally use the word ‘logic’ and the sort of problems related to the definition of logic and the sort of problems related to the definition of logic. I also wish to underline the differences between human intelligence and artificial intelligence.

I underline what, in my opinion, are the consequences for skill and knowledge transfer when using logic-based methodologies in landscapes deeply different from an input landscape. In this case I use, as a paradigm, the Indian way of logic, that has developed an original form of formal logic different from the Western logic.
