The Indian traditions of logic and epistemology do not fit into the
deductive paradigm of mathematical logic which forms the foundations of a
large part of current philosophical logic. Instead, intersubjectivity and
interaction play an important role. In this respect, they are siumilar to
large parts of the Western medieval and early modern logic traditions
(e.g., the obligationes or the Logique du Port Royal).
In the past decades, logicians focused on the interactive paradigm and
investigated logics of knowledge, belief and communication. These logics
have been successfully used in the formalization of Western medieval
texts. We expect that similar successes are possible in the field of
Indian logic and epistemology. Our workshop will be an encounter between
the two relevant research communities.
