Introduction

This international epistemology colloquium aims to establish a dialogue on the relationships between language, truth and logic, based on the articulation of recent research and the discussion of these relationships from contemporary problems. In this way, this event will allow to know and identify areas of current philosophical interest, which will be exposed in a divulgative tone, but with a technical language.
