Abstract

Baggini and Stangroom (2006) informally introduce the notion of tension in the system of beliefs of a person. I propose a formalization of this notion in the Classical Sentential Logic; it results in measuring the tension of a set of sentences. This formalization uses the notion of semantic information.
