Introduction

José Francisco Miró Quesada Cantuarias (1918-2019) was the most important Peruvian philosopher of logic and mathematics. He was mainly concerned with constructing a theory of reason adequate for understanding the most important logical and mathematical discoveries of his time: Gödel’s incompleteness theorems and heterodox logics (name coined by him).

He also coined the name paraconsistent logic, which designates those logical systems for which the principles of non contradiction and explosion do not hold generally. He has also been a pioneer in the fields of deontic logic and logic of law with his article “The logic of ought-to-be and its eliminability”, written the same year as von Wright’s Deontic Logic (1951).

We invite the academic community to participate in an event and volume dedicated to the memory of Francisco Miró Quesada. The event will coincide with our first celebration of World Logic Day (14 January) recognised by UNESCO.

Submissions

We receive works on any logic-related subject. Proposals should be submitted either as (a) extended abstracts (500-1500 words) or as (b) papers (3000-6000 words, including a 200 words abstract). In both cases, submissions should be prepared for blind review; that is, they should omit any reference to the identity of the author, including names, institution, e-mail, etc.

Papers should be sent through the Easychair link below, or to dml@seplo.org with subject Ponencia, indicating in the body of the message the name, affiliation, email of the author. The deadline for submission of abstracts and papers is Saturday, 28 August 2020. Let us know in your submission if you are interested in participating of the special issue of the South American Journal of Logic.
