LOCATION:Lisbon, Portugal
DESCRIPTION:Aristotle is the founder of modal logi
 c. His system of modal syllogisms has been studied
  for many centuries, with less than successful res
 ults. In 1955, Jan Lukasiewicz declared that "in c
 ontrast to the assertoric syllogistic which is per
 fectly clear and nearly free of errors, Aristotle'
 s modal syllogistic is almost incomprehensible bec
 ause of its many faults and inconsistencies". Some
  scholars have been trying to resist this pessimis
 tic judgement and to articulate interpretations of
  the modal syllogistic that are, at the same time,
  logically consistent and plausible on exegetical 
 grounds. This workshop wants to provide a forum fo
 r discussion and to reflect, via the contributed t
 alks and informal discussions, the state of art of
  the subject.   For more information, see http://w
 ww.lancog.com/modalsyllogistics.html  We invite su
 bmissions of long abstracts or short papers on any
  aspect of the modal syllogistic. The time slot is
  80 minutes (50' talk + 30' discussion). We aim at
  accepting five contributed papers. Submission dea
 dline: May 31, 2014.

      Aristotle is the founder of modal logic. His 
 system of modal\n        syllogisms has been studi
 ed for many centuries, with less than\n        suc
 cessful results. In 1955, Jan Lukasiewicz declared
  that\n        &quot;in contrast to the assertoric
  syllogistic which is\n        perfectly clear and
  nearly free of errors, Aristotle's modal\n       
  syllogistic is almost incomprehensible because of
  its many\n        faults and inconsistencies&quot
 ;. Some scholars have been\n        trying to resi
 st this pessimistic judgement and to articulate\n 
        interpretations of the modal syllogistic th
 at are, at the same\n        time, logically consi
 stent and plausible on exegetical\n        grounds
 . This workshop wants to provide a forum for discu
