Introduction

José Francisco Miró Quesada Cantuarias (1918-2019) was the most important Peruvian philosopher of logic and mathematics. He was mainly concerned with constructing a theory of reason adequate for understanding the most important logical and mathematical discoveries of his time: Gödel’s incompleteness theorems and “heterodox logics” —name coined by him.

He also coined the name “paraconsistent logic”, which designates those logical systems for which the principles of contradiction and explosion do not hold generally. He has also been a pioneer in the fields of deontic logic and logic of law with his article “La lógica del deber ser y su eliminabilidad” (The logic of ought and its eliminability), written the same year as von Wright’s Deontic Logic (1951).

Topics

This special issue of the South American Journal of Logic will consist of works based on his legacy. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

 - Philosophy of Logic and Mathematics

 - Theory of Reason

 - Logic and Metaphysics

 - Non-classical, Heterodox and Paraconsistent Logics

 - Deontic Logic and Logic of Law

 - Pedagogy of Logic and Mathematics

 - History of Latin American Logic

 - Studies of the FMQC’s works on these topics

We welcome both papers that concern directly FMQC’s works and original papers that simply address these topics.
