Abstract

Background:


Despite the fact that orthodox classical logic  is able to deal with the most basic and most-simple laws of objective reality,  ‘non-classical’ logic or probability theory have been fruitfully applied in areas as diverse as philosophy, (quantum) physics and mathematics et cetera too.
Methods:
At this stage, it seems fair to say that this publication discusses the unification of classical logic and probability theory and attempts to provide a clarification of the material implication (conditio per quam) relationship.
Results:
In contrast to classical logic which offers a qualitative (structural) view on objective reality, ‘non-classical’ logic or probability theory is quantitative (numerical) in nature. After all, both are concerned and used to describe the conditio per quam relationship completely.
Conclusion: 
By integrating the perspectives of qualitative logic and numerical probability theory, the material implication or conditio per quam is reformulated and able to offer highly expressive accounts of inference.
