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.


SCOPE OF THE SPECIAL ISSUE

All papers related to one or more of the following topics are welcome:

 	Interpretations of classical logic
 	Interpretations of non-classical logic
 	Interpretations of modal and epistemic logics
 	Interpretations of many-valued logics
 	Interpretations of paracomplete and paraconsistent logics
 	Interpretations of intuitionistic and subintuitionistic logics
 	Interpretations of relevant logics
 	Interpretations of substructural logics
 	Interpretations of fuzzy logics
 	Interpretations of free and inclusive logics
 	Interpretations of probability logics
 	Interpretations of possibilistic logics
 	Interpretations of contra-classical logics (connexive, Abelian, and more)
 	Canonical and non-canonical interpretations of logic as a discipline
 	The pure logic - applied logic distinction
 	The logica docens - logica utens distinction
