The Philosophy of Logic Programming, particularly as it is embodied by languages like Prolog, represents a fundamental shift from procedural to declarative programming paradigms. This shift is not merely technical but philosophical, hinging on how we conceptualize the process of instructing computers to solve problems. Traditional procedural programming languages require the programmer to meticulously define a step-by-step process to achieve a desired outcome. In contrast, logic programming, with Prolog as a prime example, asks the programmer to specify what needs to be solved, not how to solve it. This approach is grounded in formal logic, drawing from centuries of philosophical inquiry into the nature of reasoning and knowledge representation.
