Continental Philosophy of Non-Classical Logics
\nCall for Abstracts
\nEditors: Michael J. Ardoline and Corry Shores
\nDeadline for Abstracts: October 30th\, 2026
\nWe invite abstracts for chapters in an edited volume on the Continental Philosophy of Non-Classical Logics. Non-classical logics are formal systems which differ in some important way(s) from classical logic. Because classical logic is partially based on traditional views of rationality\, a non-classical logic is then at least implicitly a critique of that view of rationality and its assumptions. Such critiques of rationality are central to the projects of many canonical philosophers in the Continental tradition. However\, those philosophers rarely if ever formalized their views. Recently\, scholars interested in both continental thought and formal logic have researched which non-classical logics might align with different continental thinkers' accounts as well as what new logics might result from a thinker's critique of rationality.
\nThis volume will bring this work together for the first time and establish the subfield of Continental Approaches to Non-Classical Logics. We are interested in exegetical as well as original formal and non-formal work on this topic\, from scholars coming from either a continental or analytic background. Related work so far has been produced on figures such as Hegel\, Heidegger\, Deleuze\, Deleuze\, and Laruelle. We hope this volume will contribute to deepening these studies\, include works on canonical figures whose potential intersections with non-classical logic have not yet received sustained treatment (such as Levinas\, Kristeva\, or Foucault)\, and on new movements following form the continental tradition such as new materialism\, speculative realism\, object-oriented ontology\, and neo-rationalism.
\nPossible Topics (not limited to):
\nRelevance logics and sense
\nContinental critiques of logic extended to non-classical logics
\nParacompleteness and totality
\nFeminist critiques of traditional rationality and non-classical reasoning
\nParaconsistency and Heidegger
\nKristeva\, the abject\, and the inclosure schema
\nPhenomenology\, intuitionism\, and contradictory experience
\nBadiou on negation and void
\nDifference\, diffé\;rance\, and the law of identity
\nIneffability and reasoning at the limits of thought
\nHegel&rsquo\;s dialectic and dialethism
\nModal logics and Deleuze&rsquo\;s critique of the possible
\nPossible worlds\, impossible worlds\, and life worlds
\nNon-classical logics and non-philosophy
\nAlterity and non-classical negation
\nNon-classical reasoning and the structures of experience
\nUndecidability\, nonmonotonicity\, and the event
\nPluralism\, truth gluts\, truth gaps\, and many-valued logics
\n\nPreliminary interest for this volume has been shown by Edinburgh University Press for their Intersections in Continental and Analytic Philosophy series.
