Call for Papers: Practices of Reading and Writing in Logic (Vichy, France, 23-24 June 2018) (A workshop within UNILOG ?18, The Sixth World Congress and School on Universal Logic) EXTENDED DEADLINE: October 15, 2017 This workshop aims at an account of logic as construed from logicians? practices of writing and reading. This includes questions in the history and philosophy of notation and symbolic reasoning or computation. Further interests are activities of commenting or reviewing, and of publishing and collecting within the logicians' scientific community. The proposed approach is motivated by the observations that a great deal of the working logician?s job is to write and read. First, to work a problem in logic, it is necessary to apply certain rules for transformation or deduction. In order to apply these rules correctly, you may write down the consecutive steps by symbol inscriptions and eventually read off the result. Secondly, communicating logical problems requires activities of writing for an audience, and the results to be read by others. Moreover, what there is to be read depends not only on what has been written, but also on what ? and how it ? has been read by others. Topics for contributions may include, but are not restricted to the following aspects as applied to logic: Questions of notation Questions of literary style Translations Reviewing Publishing Logic journals Bibliographies and catalogues Perusal of public or research libraries Private libraries and collections Bibliometrical research Tools for collaborative research in logic Keynote speakers: Prof. Dr. Volker Peckhaus (University of Paderborn), Editor-in-Chief of History and Philosophy of Logic Prof. Dr. Dirk Schlimm (McGill University Montreal / LMU Munich) PD.
