On 14 January 2021, we celebrate World Logic Day. In the city of Kurt Gödel, Ludwig Wittgenstein, and the Vienna Circle, mathematical logic and its application to the sciences have a long and rich tradition. This January we celebrate Annual Vienna World Logic Day Lecture with Moshe Y. Vardi.

The ancient Greeks invented logic, as a tool to discover eternal truths. They also invented paradoxes, as a tool to sharpen the mind. In his Vienna World Logic Day Lecture Moshe Vardi not only addresses Greek paradoxes but also talks about the adverse consequences of technology in our modern day society.
