FOCUS OF THE SPECIAL ISSUE

Logical systems of classical and Non-classical sorts are often endowed
with a variety of interpretations: semantic, proof-theoretic,
metaphysic, epistemic, pragmatic, informational, dialogical, and more.
Work along these lines has led to the connection of logic to many
other areas of knowledge and research. The attempt to draw these
connections is, however, sometimes met with a number of criticisms. On
the one hand, many of these interpretations have been subject to
discussion, trying to determine if the conceptual and the formal
aspects align as required. On the other hand, scholars who reject some
contentions interpretations of certain formal systems debate whether
these logics should be dispensed with in light of their philosophical
interpretations, or whether it is possible to embrace them without
endorsing such interpretations. Examples of the above are the debates
between the fictionalist and the realist interpretations of possible
worlds for modal logics, and between the dialetheic and the epistemic
interpretations of paraconsistent logics. Furthermore, there is a
question of which if any is the canonical application of logic as a
discipline and therefore of any given logical system. In this vein,
some scholars believe that a distinction between pure logic and
applied logic needs to be taken into account, which may or may not
resemble the Medieval divide between logica docens and logica utens.
The aim of this special issue is to discuss these topics and to assess
the effect of the answers provided in the relation between logic and
the many disciplines related to it.
