Studying medieval logic can make us aware of the consequenc es of certain ideas in at least two ways. First, t he problems that medieval logicians were tackling are in many cases still with us today and still un resolved, more so than in some more recent periods . Secondly, though medieval academia was small in comparison to its modern counterpart, logic played a key role in the medieval curriculum and was the object of close attention by some remarkably perc eptive thinkers. So the study of medieval logic ha s particular contemporary relevance and can yield many insights into contemporary puzzles in philoso phy of logic. The object of the workshop is to enc ourage investigation into these connections and to showcase notable examples.
\nWe hope to include at least half a dozen Contribu ted Talks, each allotted one hour (including discu ssion). Talks should preferably both contain histo rical material from the middle ages and relate it to contemporary concerns in philosophical logic. T o submit a talk for the workshop, please send an a bstract of around 500 words by 1 February 2018. We intend to let successful contributors know the re sult by 15 February.
