Abstract: \;After a brief discussion on the presence of \;paraconsistent approaches in the history of Western thought\, in special in ancient and medieval times\, we will characterize paraconsistent logic\, created only during the 20th century. \;Recently\, \;Bertato (2021) \;presented a proposal for a Formal Natural Theology through a first-order logical theory\, by formally introducing fundamental concepts such as divine\, necessary\, and supreme. In this presentation\, based on Bertato&rsquo\;s system\, we will propose a paraconsistent underlying approach to deal with the Logical Problem of Evil\, such that the presence of contradictions does not lead to logical triviality.
Join us 5 minutes prior to the beginning of the session!

With best wishes\,
