Logical Pluralism Mini-Course, UNILOG'10, Estoril, Portugal
April 18-25
UNILOG'10, the 3rd of its kind, will be held in Estoril, Portugal. As before, the event will have two parts: First, a school consisting of several mini-courses on different subjects in logic; second, a conference with a number of topics in both open sessions and dedicated sessions. In addition, there is a competition, this time with the title/problem: How to combine logics?
I'm happy to announce that Catarina Dutilh Novaes and I will be giving a tutorial on logical pluralism in the school. In three sessions we'll run through the emergence of logical pluralism, the contemporary debate, in particular Beall and Restall's book Logical Pluralism, and, finally, different reactions to logical pluralism, e.g. Hartry Field, Graham Priest, Stephen Read. Hopefully, we'll also be able to shed some light on how the Universal Logic programme itself connects to contemporary debate of logical pluralism. We hope many of you will be interested in attending.
A full list of contributed talks, tutorials in the school, and special sessions can be found on the UNILOG website. My talk is about proof-theoretic semantics and many-valued logics. I'll post a note here when abstracts are available online.
PS An aside: We're currently in process of planning an event entitled 'Logic or Logics?' in Arché for next autumn. The event will involve both a minicourse and a workshop. I'll post more as soon as speakers and details are settled.

Looks like fun! I wish I could be there, but I'm sure you'll have a ball.
(Let me know if something comes up I should be worried about.)
Very cool. Unfortunately I'll be there only after the 22nd. Do you have any idea when the official dates will be available? Cheers!
Greg: We'll keep you posted. Hopefully, we'll have lots of time to discuss it come September!
Bernardo: Don't know the schedule for the school yet, I'm afraid. But I think the school ends at the 22nd.
Don't worry, Greg, we'll be gentle! :) But as Ole reported, it will mostly be a general overview of recent debates on logical pluralism, and our own ideas will be developed mainly with the purpose of clarifying these debates for as much as possible.
