This event will take place from 12th to 15th January 2024 at the National University of Saint Anthony the Abbot in Cuzco (UNSAAC) and will bring together esteemed researchers, scholars, and enthusiasts of logic (broadly understood) from South America and other parts of the world.
The South American Logic Society, responsible for the South American Journal of Logic (SAJL), aims to foster collaboration, exchange of ideas, and the advancement of logic in South America. SALOME 1 is an exceptional opportunity to establish a strong foundation for SALS and to showcase the collective achievements and potential of the South American logic community.

Selected contributions will be invited to participate of a special issue of the South American Journal of Logic (SAJL), edited by Jean-Yves Beziau and Marcelo Coniglio.
Importance of Cuzco for South-American Logic
The city of Cuzco holds a special importance for the development of logic in South America. It was home to the Seminary of San Antonio Abad, where the Peruvian philosopher Juan de Espinosa Medrano (1629-1688) studied. Espinosa Medrano is the author of the book Philosophia Thomistica (Rome, 1688), also known as Logic, one of the first works on logic by an intellectual born on the American continent. In this book, he defended traditional philosophy against the dissenting scholastics, while highlighting the wisdom of the ancient thinkers. He also defended the intellectual excellence of New World thinkers, challenging the prejudices that dismissed their studies. Espinosa Medrano’s work was a compelling example of the intellectual strength of this continent. The Seminary of San Antonio Abad later became the National University of San Antonio Abad, the venue for this event.
Origin of the World Logic Day
On 14 January 2019 was organised the first World Logic Day in about 60 locations all over the world. On the basis of a detailed report, a project was presented by Jean-Yves Béziau, Editor-in-Chief of Logica Universalis and President of the Brazilian Academy of Philosophy, in April 2019 in Paris, to the Ambassador of Brazil at UNESCO, Maria Edileuza Fontenele Reis, in order for this day to be a UNESCO international days. After the approval by the Brazilian government, the Ambassador presented the project during the meeting of the UNESCO Executive Council, backed by 17 other countries, and it was approved on 17 October 2019. On the basis of the decision of the Executive Council, 14th January, was officially proclaimed as the World Logic Day at the 40th session of the General Conference of UNESCO in Paris, 12-27 November 2019.
