PALMYR-3: 3rd Paris-Amsterdam Logic Meeting of Young Researchers, "What is the relationship between logic and reasoning?", June 2006, Paris

3rd Paris-Amsterdam Logic Meeting of Young Researchers (PALMYR 3) - CALL
FOR ABSTRACT

What is the relationship between logic and reasoning?

For a long time, logic and reasoning have been bedfellows, for better or
for worst. Boole viewed logic as nothing less than An investigation into
the Laws of Thought, while Frege argued for an irrevocable split up. But
even if modern logical literature abound with attempts at getting closer
to real-life reasoning (e.g. epistemic, fuzzy, conditional, intensional,
paraconsistent, and other "non-classical" logics) the state of their
relationship is still unclear. Does logic describe reasoning? Does it
provide normative standards for reasoning? For this third PALMYR, we are
looking for researchers from, but not only, Paris or Amsterdam interested
to share their opinion on this long-standing relationship.

Each PALMYR consists of two workshops, one in Paris and one in Amsterdam,
and is aimed at fostering connections between two lively logic
communities. This year?s first meeting will be in Paris on June 27th and
28th. As in the previous editions, each talk will be commented.

Interested researchers should submit electronically a one-page (12p)
abstract before April 10th, on
http://www.illc.uva.nl/PALMYR/PALMYR-3/index.html
Notification of acceptance will be sent by April 30th.
