We are pleased to announce a Call for Papers for a Synthese special issue:

Varieties of Entailment. Essays dedicated to the memory of Carolina Blasio

Guest Editors

Campinas)

Special Issue Description

On August 26, 2017, our colleague Carolina Blasio da Silva fell victim to 
a fatal car accident in Campinas, Brazil, only one day after successfully 
defending her PhD thesis Sobre Noções de Consequência Generalizadas e 
Lógicas Plurivalentes (On generalized notions of consequence and 
plurivalent logics) at UNICAMP (Brazil). She was a young and promising 
researcher, besides being the administrator of the Brazilian discussion 
group on Logic, an active member of the Brazilian LaTeX community, and a 
diligent feminist campaigner. This special issue is dedicated to her 
memory, and is concerned with topics in logic and philosophy of logic 
related to her fields of interest. These topics include:

- Generalized logical frameworks and logical pluralism / logical plurality
- The notion of a logical theory, the notion of theory in Logic
- Classes of consequence relations generalizing or revising the Tarskian 
approach to consequence
- Generalized notions of compositionality, analyticity, and truth-functionality
- Comparisons between abstract, truth-theoretic and proof-theoretic approaches 
to inferentialism (in metalogic) and the meaning of logical connectives
- Entailment-related solutions to the paradoxes
