The topic of bilateralism - situated in the area of proof-t heoretic semantics - has received considerable att ention in the area of philosophical logic within t he past years. According to proof-theoretic semant ics the meaning of the logical connectives is dete rmined by the rules of inference governing their u se in proofs. In this context bilateralism demands an equal consideration of dual concepts like trut h and falsity, assertion and denial, or proof and refutation in that they should both be taken as pr imitive concepts, i.e. not reducible to each other . This conference aims at sharing and discussing t he latest research in this area by bringing togeth er both highly distinguished as well as early care er researchers.
\n\nInvited Speakers: Nils Kürbis (University of Łódź & Ruhr University Bochum), Greg Restall (University of St. Andrews), David Ripley (Monash University), Luca Tranchini (University of Tübingen), Peter Verdée (UCLouvain) and Heinrich Wansing (Ruhr University Bochum).
\nNext to the presentations of the invited speakers the conference is supposed to give a number of early career researchers the opp ortunity to present their work in this area. Sessi on times will be 40 min., divided into 30 min. for the presentation followed by 10 min. of discussio n.
\n\nTherefore, PhD students and early P
ost-Docs are invited to submit an extended abstrac
t on their research. To submit, send an anonymized
abstract of 800-1000 words (excluding references)
to bilateralismpts2022<

.
\n Members of groups that are underrepresent
ed in logic are especially encouraged to submit.\n\n
The deadline for abstract submission is
November 28, 2021.
\n The notification of acc
eptance will be sent by January 16, 2022.
\n A
special issue of Bulletin of the Section of Logic
on the topic of the conference is planned in whic
