Conditional disjunction

Conditional disjunction

In logic, the term conditional disjunction can refer to:

  • conditioned disjunction, a ternary logical connective introduced by Alonzo Church;
  • a rule in classical logic that the material conditional ¬pq is equivalent to the disjunction pq, so that these two formulas are interchangeable.
