On one hand, logical rules determine the basic canons of correct thinking. On the other, i t is well known that very large portions of mathem atics can be reconstructed only using logic and de finitions. But what is logic? And how, if at all, can we know facts about logical validity? One prom ising starting point for answering these questions is the thought that logic, and our knowledge of i t, are to be understood with reference to our *inf erential practice*. Accordingly, the conference focuses on the twofold inferentialist idea that t he meaning of a logical expression is determined b y the rules for its correct deductive use, and tha t to know the meaning of a logical expression is t o know how to use it correctly. This very popular idea among philosophers has never been systematica lly explored. The main aim of the conference is to clarify the position, and to explore its attracti ve, if controversial, epistemological ramification s.
