Sep 6, 2016 at 13:34 comment added user6917 In this essay we show that truth tables can be built in a consistency-independent paraconsistent setting, without any appeal to classical logic. tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/…
Sep 5, 2016 at 17:07 comment added Kourosh Alizadeh @AbelMelquiadesCallejo's comment: it is correct that that argument leads a contradiction. Some have used this to show that God is 'beyond' logic in some sense. They do not, however, typically conclude that truth tables are not good guides to validity (in fact they assume that truth tables are good guides, or else there would be no contradiction). Sorry if this is not the place to reply like this but I just thought I should make sure so OP is clear on this.

Sep 5, 2016 at 14:18 comment added Abel Melquiades Callejo I used to remember my former professor who said: - p: God is so powerful - assuming that is true - q: God can create a rock so heavy he can't carry - assuming that is true - p^q: ~ does this mean this is true?
Sep 5, 2016 at 14:18 comment added Mauro ALLEGRANZA Propositional logic is decidable : "the truth-table method can be used to determine whether an arbitrary propositional formula is logically valid" and the validity of a propositional argument can be reduced to the validity of a single formula.
Sep 5, 2016 at 14:00 comment added user2953 Welcome to Philosophy.SE. I have attempted to answer your question, but it is unclear to me why you would think a truth table could be unreliable. If my answer is not what you are looking for, could you edit your question to clarify in what cases a truth table may be unreliable, preferably with an example? Thanks!
