Are there logics without modus ponens?

1k Views Asked by At

The question doesn't go beyond the title.

And I don't mean logics that merely just don't have it as a primitive rule - I'm interested in logic where you can't actually use it.

I've searched around and looked at the more exotic logics that I know, but all use modus ponens. Are there logic that do have implication but go without that rule?

But maybe I'm confused and if I take away that tool to syntactically go from knowing $P$ to knowing $Q$, then there isn't anything to $\to$ left.

You can take some logic without implication, the logic dont have MP. The Belnap Logic 4, for example. This logic also dont have theorem, only infereces of type: $\phi \vdash \psi$.
