2nd Call for Papers
Deadline: March 2, 2012
Workshop Description:
The roots of logic go back to antiquity, where it was mostly used as a
tool for analyzing human argumentation. In the 19th century Gottlob
Frege, one of the founders of modern logic and analytic philosophy,
introduced anti-psychologism in the philosophy of mathematics. In the
following years anti-psychologism, the view that the nature
of mathematical truth is independent of human ideas, was one of the
philosophical driving forces behind the success of mathematical logic.
During the same period in the 19th century, also modern psychology
(Helmholtz, Wundt) was born. However, Frege's notion of
anti-psychologism often stood in the way of a potential merge of the
disciplines and led to a significant separation between logic and
psychology research agendas and methods. Only since the 1960s,
together with the growth of cognitive science inspired by the "mind as
computer" metaphor, the two disciplines have started to interact more
and more. Today, we finally observe an increase in the collaborative
effort between logicians, computer scientists, linguists, cognitive
scientists, and psychologists.
We plan to discuss the empirical research motivated by logical
theories as well as logics inspired by experimental studies. As a
result, we hope to contribute towards an increase in collaboration
between logicians and cognitive scientists.
The meeting is partially sponsored by a Vici grant NWO-277-80-001
