Logic and Heresy in the Middle Ages
Call for Papers
Leeds Medieval Congress 2009
13 - 16 July
================================================
In 2009, to commemorate the 800th anniversary of the launch of the
Albigensian Crusade, the International Medieval Congress has the special
thematic focus Heresy and Orthodoxy.
The IMC solicits proposals for both individual papers and for groups of
papers forming thematic sessions. We are planning to submit a proposal
for the inclusion in the Congress of a session on logic and heresy in the
Middle Ages. For this, abstracts/paper proposals are now being solicited.
Some questions which we hope to address in this session include, but are
not limited to:
* What role did the church and question of orthodoxy have on the
development of logic in the Middle Ages?
* How did prohibitions restrict the dissemination of logical texts and
developments?
* Are there heresies which are specifically logical, rather than just more
broadly philosophical?
* What references do logicians make to orthodoxy and to heresy in their
arguments?
1 page abstracts for papers on any of these topics should be submitted to
Sara L. Uckelman at S.L.Uckelman@uva.nl by 1 September 2008. We also
encourage historical submissions discussing condemnations of certain
logicians, logical texts, or logical theories, and any other topic which
touches on aspects of logic and heresy.
Authors will be notified whether their paper has been selected for
inclusion in the session proposal by 15 September 2008. Note that papers
will only be selected for inclusion in the session proposal; the final
decision of the inclusion of the session rests with the Congress
organizers and will be announced sometime in early November 2008.
