Title: "Logic as a tool for modelling" course, at the summer school of the 
Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam
Description: The course "Logic as a tool for modelling" is part of the VU A
msterdam's summer school. The aim of the course is to introduce participant
s to the study of various types of logic as a versatile tool for elegantly 
modelling diverse phenomena. The overarching theme in the handling of appli
cations is the notion of categories and categorisation. The course starts b
y discussing classical logic, through both semantics and syntax, as well as
 applications in the social sciences, addressing agency, and information fl
ow.  Then it focuses on various theories of categorization from Aristotle's
 classical perspective to modern prototype and exemplar theory and introduc
es logical formalisms that encompass these various views. The last part del
ves into formal linguistics, where words are categorized based on their rol
e in sentence formation.
