Traditionally, the philosophy of logic pays little attention to the actual practices of logicians. This is somewhat surprising, as the works of several influential authors have shown the relevancy of attending to actual scientific practices within the philosophy of the empirical sciences as well as the philosophy of mathematics. But there is no hint of a similar 'practical' turn in the philosophy of logic.

The workshop is intended to enable philosophers, logicians and mathematicians to discuss the fruitfulness and viability of a practice-based approach to logic. Within the philosophy of mathematics this approach already has a certain standing, so practice-based philosophy of mathematics can serve as a starting point for the development 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 activity, 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 questions may offer new insights into the most fundamental issues that the philosophy of logic must address.

The Women in the FNWI network organizes a speed date event where potential mentors and potential mentees can meet. The program will consist of a short introduction with drinks, and about 30 minutes of "mentor speed dating": potential mentors and potential mentees engage in conversation for three minutes, and then change partner at the end of each three-minute period. Drinks afterwards.

NWO sluit het programma Cognitie op 12 september spetterend af met het evenement 'Illusio'. Illusio is een publieksdag voor iedereen van twaalf jaar en ouder met als thema 'illusies'. Er is een doorlopend dagprogramma waarbij de bezoekers in verschillende ruimtes van het Pakhuis worden blootgesteld aan klassieke illusies en boeiende cognitieve experimenten. Aan de programmaonderdelen worden begeleid door diverse Nederlandse cognitiewetenschappers. In de grote zaal vindt van 14.30 - 16.45 uur een speciaal geïntegreerd middagprogramma plaats waarvoor registratie verplicht is, waarbij de beroemde Amerikaanse illusionist Teller als hoofdact een inkijkje zal geven in de geheimen van de magie, en Peter Hagoort en Johan van Benthem het Publieksboek 'Geestdrift, wat Cognitiewetenschappers bezielt' zullen presenteren.
