Description/Abstract

Although the so called "tetralemma" might seem to be incompatible with any recognized scheme of logical inference, its four alternatives arise naturally within the "anhomomorphic" logics proposed recently in order to accommodate certain features of microscopic (i.e. quantum) physics. This suggests that non-classical logics of a similar type might have been known in ancient India.
