Workshop on Connexive Logics at the Fifth World Conference on Universal Logic (http://www.uni-log.org/start5.html) 25-30 June 2015, University of Istanbul Description: ??odern 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 ??ristotle's Theses: ~(~A?A), ~(A?~A) Boethius' Theses: (A?B)?~(A?~B), (A?~B)?~(A?B) ??ystems 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: ??. 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. ??. Wansing, "Connexive Logic", in Edward N. Zalta (ed.), The Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy (Fall 2014 Edition). http://plato.stanford.edu/archives/fall2014/entries/logic-connexive/. ??ecently, connexive logics have received new attention. This workshop is meant to present current work on connexive logic and to stimulate future research. Keynote speaker: Storrs McCall, McGill University, Canada Organisers: The workshop is hosted by Universal Logic 2015 and organised by Hitoshi Omori, (City University of New York, USA) and Heinrich Wansing (Ruhr University of Bochum, Germany). Call for abstracts: ??ny papers related to connexive logics are welcome. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to) the following: ??* Historical considerations of the notion of connexivity * Arguments for or against connexive logics * Examinations of existing systems of connexive logics * non-explosiveness of logical consequence ??ubmissions of extended abstracts (up to five pages) should be sent to both organizers as a pdf file at hitoshiomori@gmail.com and Heinrich.Wansing@rub.de. ??eadline for submission: December 1st 2014. Notification of acceptance: December 31st 2014.
