Des outils issus de la logique formelle sont utilisés pour garantir que toutes les contradictions sont contenues et que les théories globales restent cohérentes.. Inconsistent mathematics began as a response to the set theoretic and semantic paradoxes such as Russell’s Paradox and the Liar Paradox—the response being that
