Abstract

In this article we address a problem that concerns the theoretical core of approaches to non-monotonic logic (NML): the absence of a formal definition of non-monotonicity and the lack of in-depth critical analysis of the property of monotonicity in standard logic. From a metalogical and philosophical perspective, we propose a formal characterization of non-monotonicity as the absence of a guarantee of consequence preservation, expressed by means of modal operators. This characterization avoids the difficulties associated with the direct negation of monotonicity. The introduction of semi-monotonicity as a new property for NML systems—grounded in algebraic filters—makes it possible to capture the phenomenon of stability exhibited by pragmatic rational agents, who preserve knowledge across most extensions of their knowledge bases.
