DESCRIPTION:Insights into the history of logic in 
 the Western Middle Ages  From the beginning of the
  11th century to the last sparks of scholasticism 
 in the 16th, logic had a central role in the Weste
 rn educational scene. Seen as a necessary foundati
 on for any theoretical research, logical studies w
 ere also undertaken for themselves, as the meeting
  point of philosophical exploration into meaning a
 nd reasoning, and formal inquiry into the underlyi
 ng structures of language. As such, medieval logic
 s cover a variety of topics, going from elaboratin
 g a theory of Aristotelian syllogism to reflecting
  on the structure of modalities and tenses, accoun
 ting for fallacies and paradoxes, and even explori
 ng the ontological structure underlying reference.
   How did medieval logics evolve, moving between f
 ormal accounts and philosophical insights? What ca
 n they teach us? Come on Friday, December 15th to 
 find out!
