Logic and Philosophy
Logic arose in the context of ancient Greek philosophy, and was also an integral part of the Chinese philosophical tradition. Modern logic is used in epistemology, metaphysics, ethics and many other areas. This project focusses on exploring new interfaces between logic and a range of issues in philosophy of language, philosophy of mind, epistemology, metaphysics, and practical philosophy.
