CfP: Special Issue on Connexive Logic of Journal of Applied Non-Classical Logics, submission deadline: 30 September 2026

Call for Papers: Special Issue at the Journal of Applied Non-Classical Logics on Connexive Logic

Guest Editors:
Sara Ayhan (Tohoku University) and Hitoshi Omori (Tohoku University)

*Submission Deadline: September 30, 2026*

Content:

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 (in Polish notation)

- Aristotle's Theses: NCNpp, NCpNp
- Boethius' Theses: CCpqNCpNq, CCpNqNCpq

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 E. N. Zalta (ed.), The Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy.

This special issue is based on the 10th Workshop on Connexive Logics that was held in November 2025 at Tohoku University in Sendai, Japan. However, submissions are not limited to participants of the workshop, but any papers related to connexive logics are welcome! 

Topics of interest include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Philosophical considerations of the notion of connexivity;
- Arguments for or against connexive logics;
- Examinations of systems of connexive logics;
- Non-explosiveness of logical consequence;
- Empirical studies on the scope of connexivity.

When submitting, please *make sure to indicate that this is a submission to the special issue on connexive logic*.
Submissions will be subject to the usual review process of the Journal of Applied Non-Classical Logics and are to be made via the submission site to be found here: https://www.tandfonline.com/journals/tncl20
