Topical Collection Description:
Feminist Logic examines intersections of formal logic and feminist philosophy. As such it challenges traditional conceptions both of feminism and of logic. This is a very broad description, but it captures the diversity of the field of Feminist Logic that will also be reflected in the contributions to this topical collection.

More specifically, Feminist Logic can mean
- to use logical tools for feminist ends, e.g., to uncover biases in arguments or to model social hierarchies to make patriarchal structures explicit,
- to devise, revise and/or argue for logical systems from a distinctly feminist perspective, e.g., certain logical systems may seem suited better or worse for formalizing feminist arguments,
- to look at the history of logic from a feminist perspective, e.g., by revealing so far disregarded contributions by female logicians and exposing exclusionary practices that led to their invisibility,
- to consider teaching practices in logic and how those disadvantage certain underrepresented groups.

As this list of possible topics shows, there are also strong connections to other discourses in philosophy of logic (e.g., the debates about logical pluralism, anti-exceptionalism and the normativity of logic) and in epistemology (e.g., combining formal and social epistemology). Thus, this is a topic which combines various subdisciplines of philosophy.

Contributions covering any of the above listed topics or which in another way combine logic and feminist philosophy are welcome. Note that the listed topics are not meant to be restricted to gender discourses but that submissions addressing intersectional feminist approaches are also particularly encouraged.

Submissions will be subject to the usual review process of Synthese and are to be made via https://www.editorialmanager.com/synt/default.aspx

When submitting, select T.C. : Feminist Logic in the drop-down TC list.
