SUMMARY:Workshop "philosophy of logical consequenc
 e", Uppsala, Sweden
DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20081031
DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20081102
LOCATION:Uppsala, Sweden
DESCRIPTION:There is a traditional picture of logi
 c that may be spelled out as follows: Logic is con
 cerned with the principles for correct reasoning a
 nd valid arguments; its principles are universal, 
 necessary, apriori and formal; logically valid arg
 uments are necessarily truth-preserving and have a
  fundamental epistemic significance; and finally, 
 logic is in some sense a normative discipline.   T
 his traditional picture gives rise to many questio
 ns. The notions of universality, logical necessity
 ,apriority, and formality are difficult to analyze
 . In what sense, if any, is logic normative? Is th
 ere a principled way of distinguishing between log
 ical and non-logical concepts? While continuing to
  face these foundational questions, logic has deve
 loped into an advanced mathematical discipline - m
 athematical logic - where the informal notions of 
 logical proof, validity and logical consequence ar
 e given mathematical explications.    For more inf
 ormation, see http://web.me.com/stenlindstrom/Webb

 There is a traditional picture of logic that may b
 e spelled out as follows: Logic is concerned with 
 the principles for correct reasoning and valid arg
 uments; its principles are universal, necessary, a
 priori and formal; logically valid arguments are n
 ecessarily truth-preserving and have a fundamental
  epistemic significance; and finally, logic is in 
 some sense a normative discipline.\n      </p>\n  
     <p>This traditional picture gives rise to many
  questions. The notions of universality, logical n
 ecessity,apriority, and formality are difficult to
  analyze. In what sense, if any, is logic normativ
 e? Is there a principled way of distinguishing bet
 ween logical and non-logical concepts? While conti
 nuing to face these foundational questions, logic 
 has developed into an advanced mathematical discip
 line - mathematical logic - where the informal not
 ions of logical proof, validity and logical conseq
 uence are given mathematical explications.\n
