The workshop "Logics of Consequence: Logical Inferentialism\, Defeasible Reasoning\, and Transitivity" will take place \;on March 3-4 at the Philosophy Department of Concordia University in Montreal. \;It will connect some recent developments in logic\, the philosophy of logic\, theory of meaning\, and the philosophy of reasoning. \; In particular\, we will be thinking about non-transitive and non-monotonic logics in connection with logical and semantic inferentialism\, the semantic paradoxes\, and the nature of logic vocabulary.
\nHere are some of the questions we will be discussing: \; What does it mean to say that some things follow from others\, that some things are consequences of others? \; What does consequence have to do with rules\, proofs\, reasoning\, argumentation\, assertion\, denial\, and the like? \; Given that our everyday reasoning is virtually always defeasible\, should we think of consequence as non-monotonic? \; Are consequence relations always transitive? \; Or should we accept failures of transitivity in order to deal with semantic paradoxes or for other reasons? \; What does consequence have to do with logic and logical connectives? \; Do logical connectives mean what they do in virtue of their place in a consequence relation? \; Why do we want logical connectives\, what is their job?
