"Practices of Reading & Writing in Logic"

23-24 Jun 2018
Vichy, France

Call for Papers:

Practices of Reading and Writing in Logic (Vichy, France, 23-24 June 2018)
(A workshop within UNILOG ?18, The Sixth World Congress and School on Universal 
Logic)

EXTENDED DEADLINE: September 29, 2017


A great deal of the working logician?s job is: to write ? and read. This 
holds in at least two senses: First, to work a problem in logic, it is 
necessary to apply certain rules for transformation or deduction. In order 
to apply these rules correctly, you may produce inscriptions and watch a 
sequence of transformations of an initially given formula, i.e., you may 
write down the consecutive steps and eventually read off the result. 
Secondly, communicating logical problems (and solutions) inevitably 
requires activities of writing for an audience, and most commonly 
producing at least some bits of prose. But participating in the ?logical 
community? will also require to work through writings of others. Hence 
activities of reading are necessary, too. Moreover, the range of available 
input may depend on activities of selecting and systematizing 
contributions to logical research. Hence what there is for you to read may 
to a great extent depend not only on what has been written, but also on 
what ? and how it ? has been read by others. The presently announced 
workshop aims at an account of logic as construed from logicians? 
practices of writing and reading in both respects. Further interests are 
activities of commenting or reviewing, and of publishing and collecting. 
In order to take an interdisciplinary stance, the workshop will allow for 
a variety of approaches.

Prof. Dr. Volker Peckhaus (University of Paderborn), Editor-in-Chief of History 
and Philosophy of Logic
