A two-day workshop covering historical and modern aspects of games and
dialogues in logic.
Studies in the history of logic have shown that the medieval
traditions, both in western Europe and in India, have many distinctive
dialogical and epistemological characteristics. As a result, they have
much more in common with each other than they do mathematical logic of
the 1950′s. Recently, it has become apparent that these shared
characteristics can be fruitfully modeled in the context of modern
developments in logic, which are dynamic and dialogical in flavor. We
believe that investigating the common properties of these two
historical approaches can advance our understanding of these
philosophical and historical traditions with the help of recent
technical advances in dialogical and game semantics and dialogue games.
The purpose of this workshop is to bring together LogICCC researchers
from both the philosophical and technical traditions to provide a
spring-board for collaboration and potential cross-discipline
applications, allowing people working in both historical traditions,
the Western and the Indian, to gain knowledge of current modeling
techniques and those on the technical side access to new problems and
theories to model.
The four fields that we intend to represent are: the dialogical
tradition in Indian logic, obligationes in medieval Western logic,
dialogical semantics and dialogue models, and games for dialogues and
semantics. Each day there will be two tutorials; the first day will
cover the historical topics and the second day will cover the modern
techniques.
