SUMMARY:ESSLLI-2011 Workshop "Logical Constants", 
 Ljubljana, Slovenia
DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20110808
DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20110812
LOCATION:Ljubljana, Slovenia
DESCRIPTION:All logical systems make a distinction
  between logical and non-logical symbols, and the 
 meaning of the former needs to be specified in det
 ail and in effect defines the logic in question. T
 his distinction is usually stipulated (though it c
 an be argued that natural languages make a similar
  distinction), but the issue of the grounds for it
 , i.e. of what characterizes a logical constant, i
 s a central question in logic, cutting across the 
 huge variety of logical systems existing today. Th
 is question has been tackled from various sides, r
 anging from historical investigation to formal cri
 teria spelled out within different logical framewo
 rks. The main aim of this ESSLLI-2001 workshop is 
 to gain a better understanding of the problem by b
 ringing together complementary approaches coming f
 rom various fields, namely logic, philosophy of lo
 gic and mathematics, linguistics and the history o
 f logic.  For more information, see http://lumiere
 .ens.fr/~dbonnay/files/conference/logicalconstants
 .htm.  Deadline for submission: Feb 15 2011. Notif
 ication to authors: March 15 2011. Submissions sho
 uld consist of anonymous abstracts of no more than
  3 pages, single-spaced, 12pt, including title and
  references (preferred formats for submission are 
 pdf and Word). Abstracts should be sent electronic
 ally to: logicalconstants2011 at gmail.com
