GENERAL INFO
Logic, probability theory, and theories of rationality are intricately linked. While the first two serve as fundamental tools in the formal examination of reasoning, the latter is valued for its ability to elucidate, guide, and assess actions. This thematic project aims to explore the relationship between logic and its various generalizations, including many-valued, fuzzy, intuitionistic, paraconsistent, and modal logics. Additionally, the concept of probability and its diverse generalizations, such as credal calculi, belief functions, plausibility measures, and new axiomatics for probability and other measures, will be investigated.
The exploration of common generalizations for both logic and probability is also contemplated, with applications spanning philosophy, linguistics, artificial intelligence, and the philosophy of science and mathematics, emphasizing the interconnections among these domains. Throughout the development of this project, other areas and topics closely associated with rationality that intersect with the primary formal lines may be also investigated. These include social choice theory, rational decision making, game theory, Bayesian epistemology, and artificial intelligence, among others.
The Centre for Logic, Epistemology, and the History of Science will promote the Third RatioLog Workshop: Logic, Rationality, and Probability in May 5th to 9th, 2025. This event is sponsored by Northeastern University, FAPESP, and the Centre for Logic, Epistemology and the History of Science (CLE). We are pleased to offer special grants to PhDs and Masters students from other universities that want to present in this edition. Students from the north and northeast of Brazil are particularly encouraged to apply for grants. This edition features comprehensive tutorials alongside two short courses designed for graduate and undergraduate students.
Logic, Rationality, and Probability is a meeting for logic related researchers to present their research in relation to logic, rationality and probability.
