Moreover in the Bible the logos is\n assimilated to God and this has been repercuted i n occidental\n philosophy in different ways by philosophers such as Leibniz or\n Hegel . A religion like Buddhism is also strongly connec ted to\n reasoning as well as Islam and man y others.\n

\n

\n This wil l be the first world congress on logic and religio n.\n Relations between logic in all its dim ensions - philosophical,\n mathematical, co mputational, linguistical - and the the different\ n religions will be examined.\n
