This is somewhat surprising, as the wor ks of several influential authors have shown the r elevancy of attending to actual scientific practic es within the philosophy of the empirical sciences as well as the philosophy of mathematics. But the re is no hint of a similar 'practical' turn in the philosophy of logic. The workshop is intended t o enable philosophers, logicians and mathematician s to discuss the fruitfulness and viability of a p ractice-based approach to logic. Within the philos ophy of mathematics this approach already has a ce rtain standing, so practice-based philosophy of ma thematics can serve as a starting point for the de velopment of a practice-based philosophy of logic. We hope to offer a novel vantage point into what is after all an essentially human and social activ ity, the practice of logic. What do logicians do? How do they conduct their researches, individually and within the scientific community? How do they communicate with each other? Answers to these ques tions may offer new insights into the most fundame ntal issues that the philosophy of logic must addr ess. For more information, see http://www.illc.u va.nl/pplm/ Although the workshop will feature pr imarily invited speakers, there will be about four slots for contributed papers.

Tradi tionally, the philosophy of logic pays little atte ntion\n to the actual practices of logicians. This is somewhat\n surprising, as the works of several influential authors have\n shown t he relevancy of attending to actual scientific pra ctices\n within the philosophy of the empiric al sciences as well as the\n philosophy of ma thematics. But there is no hint of a similar\n 'practical' turn in the philosophy of logic.\n
\nThe workshop is intended to ena ble philosophers, logicians\n and mathematici ans to discuss the fruitfulness and viability of\n a practice-based approach to logic. Within t he philosophy of\n mathematics this approach already has a certain standing, so\n practice -based philosophy of mathematics can serve as a st arting\n point for the development of a pract ice-based philosophy of\n logic. We hope to o ffer a novel vantage point into what is after\n all an essentially human and social activity, t he practice of\n logic. What do logicians do? How do they conduct their\n researches, indi vidually and within the scientific community? \n How do they communicate with each other? Answe rs to these\n questions may offer new insight s into the most fundamental\n issues that the philosophy of logic must address.\n
