7 September 2017, 3rd Workshop on Connexive Logics, Kyoto, Japan

After two workshops on connexive logics in Istanbul (June 2015) and Raesfeld Castle (June 2016), a third workshop on connexive logics will take place in Kyoto (Japan) as part of 'Kyoto Nonclassical Logic Workshop III', 7th of September 2017.

Description:

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

Aristotle's Theses: ~(~A=>A), ~(A=>~A) Boethius' Theses: (A=>B)=>~(A=>~B), (A=>~B)=>~(A=>B)

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.

There is also a special issue on connexive logics in the IfCoLog Journal of Logics and their Applications. The entire issue is available at:

This workshop is meant to present current work on connexive logic and to stimulate future research.

Keynote speakers: Norihiro Kamide (Teikyo University, Japan) Andreas Kapsner (LMU Munich, Germany)

Organisers: The workshop is organised by Hitoshi Omori, (Kyoto University, Japan) and Heinrich Wansing (Ruhr University of Bochum, Germany).
