The approach draws on enormous achievements of a legion of formal an d mathematical logicians, but focuses on `the Wild : actual human processes of reasoning and argument ation. Moreover, high standards of inquiry that we owe to formal logicians offer a new quality in re search on reasoning and argumentation. In terms of John Corcoran’s distinction between logic as form al ontology and logic as formal epistemology, the aim of the practical turn is to make formal episte mology even more epistemically oriented. This is n ot to say that this ‘practically turned’ (or cogni tively oriented) logic becomes just a part of psyc hology. This is to say that this logic aquires a n ew task of “systematically keeping track of changi ng representations of information”, as Johan van B enthem puts it, and that it contests the claim tha t the distinction between descriptive and normativ e accounts of reasoning is disjoint and exhaustive . From a different than purely psychological persp ective logic becomes — again — interested in answe ring Dewey’s question about the Wild: how do we th ink? This is the new alluring face of psychologism , or cognitivism, in logic, as opposed to the old one, which Frege and Husserl fought against. This is the area of research to which this workshop is devoted. We welcome submissions on any topic that fits into the scope as described above. X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:
Nowadays we are witnessing a ‘practical’, or cognitive turn in logic. The approach draws on enormous achievem ents of a legion of formal and mathematical logici ans, but focuses on `the Wild: actual human proces ses of reasoning and argumentation. Moreover, high standards of inquiry that we owe to formal logici ans offer a new quality in research on reasoning a nd argumentation. In terms of John Corcoran’s dist inction between logic as formal ontology and logic as formal epistemology, the aim of the practical turn is to make formal epistemology even more epis temically oriented. This is not to say that this ‘ practically turned’ (or cognitively oriented) logi c becomes just a part of psychology. This is to sa y that this logic aquires a new task of “systemati cally keeping track of changing representations of information”, as Johan van Benthem puts it, and t hat it contests the claim that the distinction bet ween descriptive and normative accounts of reasoni ng is disjoint and exhaustive. From a different th an purely psychological perspective logic becomes — again — interested in answering Dewey’s question about the Wild: how do we think? This is the new alluring face of psychologism, or cognitivism, in logic, as opposed to the old one, which Frege and Husserl fought against. This is the area of resear ch to which this workshop is devoted.
