The 21st Trends in Logic international conference will be held at Ruhr
University Bochum, Germany, from December 6-December 8, 2021 under the title
?Frontiers of connexive logic?. It is organized by the chairs of Logic and
Epistemology and Nonclassical Logic at the Department of Philosophy I of Ruhr
University Bochum, in co-operation with Studia Logica.
Modern connexive logic started in the 1960s with seminal papers by Richard B.
Angell and Storrs McCall. Connexive logics are orthogonal to classical logic
insofar as they validate certain non-theorems of classical logic, namely
Aristotle's Theses: ~(~A => A), ~(A => ~A)
Boethius' Theses: (A => B)=> ~(A => ~B), (A => ~B) => ~(A => B)
Systems of connexive logic have been motivated by considerations on a content
connection between the antecedent and succedent of valid implications and by
applications that range from Aristotle's syllogistic to Categorial Grammar and
the study of causal implications. Surveys of connexive logic can be found in:
S. McCall, "A History of Connexivity", in D.M. Gabbay et al. (eds.), Handbook
of the History of Logic. Volume 11. Logic: A History of its Central Concepts,
Amsterdam, Elsevier, 2012, pp. 415-449.
H. Wansing, "Connexive Logic", in Edward N. Zalta (ed.), The Stanford
Encyclopedia of Philosophy (Spring 2020 Edition).
There is also a special issue on connexive logics in the IfCoLog Journal of
Logics and their Applications based on papers presented during the first
workshop. The entire issue is available here.
There is another special issue of Logic and Logical Philosophy based on papers
presented during the third workshop. The entire issue is available here.
As we are observing some growing interests in topics related to connexive
logics, after six annual workshops, the Trends in Logic XXI aims at discussing
directions for future research in connexive logics.

PAPER SUBMISSION:
Any papers related to connexive logics are welcome. Topics of interest include
(but are not limited to) the following:
- Historical considerations of the notion of connexivity;
- Discussions on the notion of connexive logics;
- Examinations of various systems of connexive logics;
- Relations between connexive logics and other nonclassical logics, such as
conditional logics;
- Philosophical implications of connexive logics;
- Discussions on the relation between Experimental philosophy and connexivity.
Moreover, we will have a special session on contra-classical logics, and thus
any papers related to contra-classical logics are welcome. Topics of interest
include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Historical considerations of contra-classical logics;
- Discussions on the notion of contra-classicality;
- Examinations of various systems of contra-classical logics;
- Relations between contra-classical logics and other nonclassical logics;
- Philosophical implications of contra-classical logics.
Submissions of extended abstracts (up to three pages) should be submitted
electronically as pdf documents using the EasyChair submission page at
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=trends2021
At least one author of each accepted paper must register for, and attend, the
conference to present their work. Full versions of selected papers will be
published in a special issue of Studia Logica after an open call for papers
(current planned deadline: 31 January, 2022).
