OASIS 6 (Ontology As Structured by the Interfaces with Semantics 6) will take place at the Centro de Linguí\;stica da Universidade de Lisboa\, 13-16 October\, 2026.
\nThe OASIS conference series aims to promote conversation across different disciplines that interface with semantics\, using ontological questions as shared reference points. The broad questions in the background are these: 1. What basic ontological building blocks do we use to talk and think about the world? 2. How do these building blocks get combined? 3. And how do grammatical and cognitive phenomena motivate the answers to the first two questions? For more information\, see the OASIS credo.
\nWe welcome submissions from semantics and semantics-adjacent domains\, including philosophy and the cognitive sciences. We will host sessions bringing together linguists and philosophers to discuss foundational questions in linguistics and their relation to broader philosophical issues. The sessions will introduce some of the central assumptions and frameworks of contemporary linguistic theory and provide informal opportunities for interdisciplinary exchange. Philosophers and others interested in language\, mind\, or cognition are particularly encouraged to attend.
\nInvited speakers:
\nSatellite session: Creoles as windows on language and cognition This special session will focus on Creoles as full-fledged natural languages that emerged in certain socio-historical environments shaped by European colonial expansion. For any given theory of Creole formation\, those contexts involve language contact and innovation through complex processes of language acquisition\, therefore providing a particular starting point for research on how conceptual categories are mapped into diverse grammatical systems.
\nAbstract submission:
\nAbstracts are due on May 15\, 2026. Submission will be via the conference Open Review page. Authors should be aware of OpenReview's moderation policy for newly created profiles in the Call for Papers:
\nIf you are submitting for the satellite workshop\, please indicate this by including &ldquo\;[for satellite workshop]&rdquo\; under the title of your abstract.
\nAbstracts must be anonymous\, in pdf format\, 2 A4 pages\, in a font size no less than 12pt. You may submit at most two abstracts but can be single author on only one.
\nLinguists and any others submitting very technical research: It is absolutely necessary that you do what you can to make your abstract accessible to an interdisciplinary audience. This doesn't mean eschewing all formalism\, but do pitch your abstract so that a non-technical reader can get something interesting out of it.

\nThursday\, the 21st of May 2026\, 17.00\, Central European Time
\nDiego Feinmann
\n(IPI PAN)
\nwill deliver a talk:
\nReassessing the Link between Relevance and Informativeness
\nAbstract:
\nThe dominant view in cognitive science and formal pragmatics is that relevance is a matter of informativeness: a sentence is relevant if it is informative\, and irrelevant otherwise. In this talk\, I consider both non-probabilistic and probabilistic approaches to relevance\, and conclude that\, insofar as they entail that informativeness is a necessary condition for relevance\, they are bound to fail: it is possible for a sentence to be uninformative and yet be perceived as a relevant contribution. Time permitting\, I will also discuss some experimental work on this topic (forthcoming\, with Sonia Ramotowska).
\nAbout the speaker:
\nDiego Feinmann is Assistant Professor at the Institute of Computer Science of the Polish Academy of Sciences\, where his research focuses on the formal semantics and pragmatics of natural language. His publication record includes work in leading venues such as Journal of Semantics\, Linguistics and Philosophy\, Snippets\, Journal of Logic\, Language and Information\, and Journal of Psycholinguistic Research. Across papers on homogeneity and vagueness\, domain restriction\, relevance\, and non-maximality\, his work combines technical precision with a strong feel for foundational questions at the semantics&ndash\;pragmatics interface.

\nwe are pleased to announce
\nAnnual International Conference
\n«\;uAnalytiCon-2026: Unversals and Objects»\;\,
\nwhich takes place on May 22-23\, 2026
\n\nOur upcoming uAnalytiCon-2026 will focus on a variety of issues connected to the traditional debate about the relationships between universals and objects. We plan to discuss the questions concerning what types of universals are\, how to distinguish between properties and relations as well as between events and states\, what existence and identity conditions are appropriate for each of these\, and whether one needs to posit a distinct category of tropes as abstract entities.
\nWe welcome submissions from a wide range of disciplines\, including but not limited to:
\nKeyspeakers will be announced in March 2026.
\nAbstracts must be 500 words or less and prepared for blind review. To submit abstracts please fill out our submission form at [https://uanalyticon.ru/index.en.html]. The deadline for abstract submissions is March 31\, 2026. Notifications of acceptance will be sent by April 30\, 2026.
\nOfficial conference languages: Russian\, English.
\nPlease note that online participation is possible only for the talks in English.
\nThe participation is free of charge. Unfortunately\, the Organizing Committee has no available funds for covering transport and accommodation. Participants are responsible for covering travel expenses.

Central issues include the evaluation of conditional systems independently of classical background logic\, the relative merits of semantic versus proof-theoretic criteria\, and the role of inferential adequacy in assessing conditional principles. The workshop also considers how different conditional logics interface with explanation\, causation\, and counterfactual reasoning in scientifically relevant formal contexts.
\nWe welcome contributions addressing (but not limited to) the following questions:
\nDo conditionals have a single core inferential function\, or are they fundamentally context-sensitive operators?
\nHow should conditionals behave in inconsistent or information-poor settings?
\nWhat methodological standards should guide the evaluation of non-classical conditionals:
\nsemantic intuitions\, proof-theoretic virtues\, inferential roles\, or applications in science?
\nCan disputes about conditionals be resolved without presupposing classical background logic?
\nHow do conditionals interact with explanation\, causation\, and counterfactual reasoning in real scientific practice?
\n36th Novembertagung on the History and Philosophy of Mathematics
\n&lsquo\;(Perceived) Dichotomies in Mathematics: Opposites\, Boundaries\, and Tensions in the History and Philosophy of Mathematics&rsquo\;
\n&mdash\; Call for Abstracts &mdash\;
\nhttps://novembertagung.wordpress.com/novembertagung-2026/ \;
\nThe Novembertagung on the History and Philosophy of Mathematics is an international conference aimed at PhD students and early-career researchers in the history\, philosophy of mathematics and related areas. This event offers an opportunity to share your work in progress in a collegial atmosphere and receive feedback.
\nThe 36th edition of the Novembertagung will take place in Istanbul (Turkey) from November 3rd to 5th\, 2026. It will be hosted by theInstitute for the History of Science at Istanbul Medeniyet University. The keynote speakers will be confirmed in the coming weeks. Please see the website for the most up-to-date information.
\nThe conference is planned as an in-person event. For those who require financial assistance\, please indicate so in your application as we may be able to provide some funding.
\nThis year&rsquo\;s Novembertagung theme centres on Opposites\, Boundaries and Tensions in the History and Philosophy of Mathematics. We will explore the ways in which mathematical belief\, disagreement and conflict are both formed and conducted\, and the ways that these tensions and disagreements shape both the content and perception of mathematical belief. Believing that mathematical disagreement is much more substantial than a question of &lsquo\;right&rsquo\; and &lsquo\;wrong&rsquo\;\, we call for papers that explore how Opposites\, Boundaries and Tensions are formed\, expressed and entrenched throughout mathematical history.
\nAbstracts about the following\, non exhaustive\, list of topics will be welcomed:
\nAbstract dichotomies: objects and concepts\, theory and practice\, informal and formal reasoning\, etc.
\nThe formation of mathematical disciplines
\nThe resolution of mathematical disputes
\nThe roles of institutions in forming mathematical culture
\nHistorical and Philosophical approaches to the treatment of mathematical disputation
\nHow mathematical and &lsquo\;extra-mathematical&rsquo\; thought interact in shaping mathematical and non-mathematical belief
\nHistoriographical work that explores how these concepts are treated in the literature. \;
\nWhile the topic of the submission should ideally be related to the conference&rsquo\;s theme\, most topics that fall under the broader heading of philosophy or history of mathematics\, and that can fruitfully be connected to it will be welcomed as valuable additions to the conference. Early-Career and graduate students working on conflict theory in academia and society more general\, or at the intersection of the History of Mathematics and science more generally for example\, are also welcome to submit their work.
\nPhD students and early-career researchers are invited to submit abstracts.
\nAbstracts should be written in English and not exceed 300 words.
\nAll submissions should be suitable for a 20-minute presentation\, followed by a 10-minute discussion.
\nAbstracts should be sent as a PDF file prepared for blind review (do not put your name nor affiliation in the abstract\, only in your email) to
\nnovembertagung.hpm@gmail.com \;
\nPlease include your full name and affiliation in your email.
\nWe expect to secure funding for accommodation expenses\, or travel in exceptional cases\, as mentioned earlier. Please\, let us know in your application if you would like to be considered for funding.
\nThe deadline for submissions is May 31st\, 2026.
\nIf you have any further questions\, feel free to contact the organisers atnovembertagung.hpm@gmail.com

The Workshop is organised by Federico Pailos.
\nA substructural logic is one that gives up one of the structural features of classical logic. By this it is meant either some closure property\, like reflex ivity\, transitivity or monotonicity\, or some local or globally valid metain ferential schema. This Workshop has two interrelated general aims: (i) contribute to the de velopment of a conception of logicality that better fits with the recent de velopments in the field of substructural logics\, mainly related to some key applications\, such as the vagueness phenomena and the semantic paradoxes\; (ii) assess the pros and cons of this new conception of logicality with respect to more traditional approaches\, that understood a logic as a set of inferences closed under some key (Tarskian) properties\, such as reflexivity\, transitivity and monotonicity.

This tension frequently revolves around a central notion: mathematical rigour. Although the concept has been discussed in history\, philosophy\, and mathematics itself\, there has been relatively little discussion of its relationship to physics. Physics is often considered unrigorous\; however\, given that there is no single agreed-upon notion of rigour even within mathematics\, it becomes unclear exactly why physics is regarded as unrigorous\, and whether it should be.
\n\; This interdisciplinary workshop will bring together researchers from various fields to discuss both descriptive and normative notions of rigour in physics\, as well as the influence of this topic on the concept of rigour in mathematics. The central\, but non-exhaustive questions of the workshop will include the following:

The Student Conference Logic and Metaphysics II. Logic of Metaphysics will take place from 25.09.26. to 26.09.26. \; at the University of Potsdam.
\nTopic
\nThe history of analytic philosophy is essentially told as a history of the development and application of logic on the one hand\, and as a continuous discussion of the question of the possibility of metaphysics on the other hand. While logical empiricism believed that metaphysical questions could be exposed as pseudo-problems using the tools of formal logic\, developments in modal logic and model theory were partly responsible for the renaissance of metaphysics that we can still observe today. In short\, since formal logic is an essential tool and distinguishing feature of analytic philosophy\, logic is also crucial in the historical and contemporary discourse on the possibility of metaphysics. In this context\, the question arises as to what functions logic fulfills in metaphysics and what questions it enables or prevents. \;
\nThe aim of the conference is to shed light on the relationship between analytic metaphysics and its logical toolkit and to trace the historical development of analytic philosophy from a fundamentally anti-metaphysical to a philosophical movement\, which is decidedly open towards metaphysics. An examination of the second area of interest is closely linked to the role that logic plays in the dissolution and reformulation of metaphysical problems. This may take the form of systematic contributions to current debates or reviews of historical positions.

\nCall for Posters
\nLogic is often regarded as a neutral framework for reasoning\, independent of subject matter and detached from social or political commitments. Yet contemporary debates in philosophy and logic have increasingly questioned whether such neutrality can be fully sustained\, both in theory and in practice. This workshop will examine the idea of logical neutrality from multiple perspectives\, bringing together approaches from logic\, philosophy\, mathematics\, computer science\, and related disciplines.
\nConfirmed Speakers
\nWe invite poster submissions from PhD students and early-career researchers. Possible topics include\, but are not limited to:
\nSubmissions should consist of an anonymous abstract of up to 500 words (excluding references). Please send abstracts and a separate document containing name\, affiliation\, career stage\, and contact information to logicneutral@gmail.com by \;1 July 2026. Notifications of acceptance and rejection will be made within a few weeks.
\nAccepted posters will be presented during a dedicated poster session at the workshop.
\nPlease note that no funding will be provided for travel or accommodation expenses.

Are there facts about logic that are independent of us\, and if so\, what is their metaphysical status? Do purely logical statements have meaning? Is there a true logical system\, or can several logical systems be accepted at once? What is the relationship between classical logic and alternative logics?
\nGiven the central role that logic plays in contemporary philosophy\, the importance of these questions cannot be underestimated. In analytical philosophy in particular\, it is often assumed that logical formalization can lend arguments a special power. This power makes it seemingly impossible to accept the premises of an argument and yet reject its conclusion. Arguments that cannot be formalized in this way\, on the other hand\, are often rejected as &lsquo\;unscientific.&rsquo\;
\nBut as central as logic is to analytical philosophy\, philosophers disagree about its nature and foundations. This great diversity of positions in the philosophy of logic has a long tradition: Frege believed that the principles of logic were general laws of truth and that rules for correct judgment could be derived from them. (Der Gedanke\, 58) Carnap's famous postulate &ldquo\;In logic there are no morals&rdquo\; (The Logical Syntax of Language §\;17) expresses the idea that logical systems can only claim validity relative to the specification of a particular language. Jared Warren believes that logical truths are a shadow of syntax or reflections on linguistic rules. (Shadows of Syntax\, p. 325\; Slogan 8)
\nThe aim of the conference is to facilitate the exchange of different positions on the mentioned issues. Both systematic contributions to current debates and discussions of historical positions are welcome.

\nThe Visegrad (V4) region&mdash\;Czechia\, Hungary\, Poland\, and Slovakia&mdash\;has shaped analytic philosophy of language in foundational yet often underrecognized ways. Some contributions\, such as Tarski&rsquo\;s work on semantics\, are widely known\; others&mdash\;early work on inferentialism\, situation semantics\, and hyperintensionality&mdash\;remain less familiar\, and many are still underexplored. In fact\, across nearly every area of contemporary philosophy of language\, V4 philosophers have developed distinctive ideas\, This includes original works on proper names\, indexicals\, quotation\, context-sensitivity\, attitude reports\, interrogatives\, speech act theory\, conditionals\, pronouns\, propositional content\, and logical form.
\nThis is not only a historical legacy: philosophy of language in the V4 region is a vibrant and increasingly visible research ecosystem today. The workshop aims to further raise the international profile of V4 work and to provide a shared forum where current V4 research can meet international\, V4-inspired research.
\n
Two submission paths:
To make the workshop both a genuine platform for V4 scholars and a bridge to the broader international community\, we invite submissions through two tracks:
\n
1) V4 Track
We welcome submissions on any topic in analytic philosophy of language (broadly construed) from scholars who are currently affiliated with an institution in a V4 country\, have held a significant past affiliation in the V4 region\, or have a substantial research connection to V4 philosophy of language (e.g. doctoral or postdoctoral \; affiliation\, long-term collaboration\, etc.).
2) International Track (Outside the V4)
We welcome submissions from scholars without a V4 affiliation or background on any topic in analytic philosophy of language explicitly inspired by V4 traditions&mdash\;historically (e.g. engaging with classic figures or schools) or inspired by current V4 contributions.
Topics:
We invite submissions on all areas of analytic philosophy of language (broadly conceived\, including philosophical logic)
Abstract submission:
&bull\; Abstract length: 250&ndash\;500 words\, prepared \;for anonymous review
&bull\; Language: English
&bull\; Deadline: 30 April 2026 (23:59 CEST)
&bull\; Decision of acceptance: 15 June 2026

Intensionalists claim that necessarily equivalent propositions are identical\; hyperintensionalists deny this. Whereas possible worlds semantics provides a canonical intensionalist framework\, there is no canonical hyperintensionalist framework. Recent years have rather seen a thousand flowers bloom with the \; development of truthmakers semantics\, aboutness theory\, grounding theory\, and logics of essence\, to mention but a few hyperintensionalist theories. \;
\nA lot of recent work has focused on various paradoxes that threaten hyperintensionalism - the so-called Russell-Myhill paradox in particular. We now have reason to think that these paradoxes can be resolved. \;
\nThe mere consistency of hyperintensionalist theories does not\, obviously\, mean that they are worth having. Even staunch adherents of hyperintensionalists approaches would admit that they are more complicated than their intensionalist competitors. So\, what work can be done by hyperintensionalists theories that cannot be done by their intensionalist competitors? Is the work being done worth the price of the greater complexity? The goal of the workshop is to bring together some leading proponents and opponents of hyperintensionalism to discuss these questions.
\nThe workshop will be held at St John's College\, Oxford\, 1-2 OCtober 2026.
\nDue to space constraints\, we ask participants to regsiter in advance\; a registration link will be posted here shortly.
\nUpdates to the timins and schedle will appear on this site.

\n\nThe aim of this workshop is to bring together people from different fields such as programming languages foundations\, formal verification\, philosophy or artificial intelligence\, around methods of reasoning and applications involving logic. We call for extended abstracts. In particular you can present work in progress or work that is recently published elsewhere.
\n\n\nSuggested topics include\, but are not limited to the following:
\n\n\n\nOASIS 6 (Ontology As Structured by the Interfaces with Semantics 6) will take place at the Centro de Linguí\;stica da Universidade de Lisboa\, 13-16 October\, 2026.
\nThe OASIS conference series aims to promote conversation across different disciplines that interface with semantics\, using ontological questions as shared reference points. The broad questions in the background are these: 1. What basic ontological building blocks do we use to talk and think about the world? 2. How do these building blocks get combined? 3. And how do grammatical and cognitive phenomena motivate the answers to the first two questions? For more information\, see the OASIS credo.
\nWe welcome submissions from semantics and semantics-adjacent domains\, including philosophy and the cognitive sciences. We will host sessions bringing together linguists and philosophers to discuss foundational questions in linguistics and their relation to broader philosophical issues. The sessions will introduce some of the central assumptions and frameworks of contemporary linguistic theory and provide informal opportunities for interdisciplinary exchange. Philosophers and others interested in language\, mind\, or cognition are particularly encouraged to attend.
\nInvited speakers:
\nSatellite session: Creoles as windows on language and cognition This special session will focus on Creoles as full-fledged natural languages that emerged in certain socio-historical environments shaped by European colonial expansion. For any given theory of Creole formation\, those contexts involve language contact and innovation through complex processes of language acquisition\, therefore providing a particular starting point for research on how conceptual categories are mapped into diverse grammatical systems.
\nAbstract submission:
\nAbstracts are due on May 15\, 2026. Submission will be via the conference Open Review page. Authors should be aware of OpenReview's moderation policy for newly created profiles in the Call for Papers:
\nIf you are submitting for the satellite workshop\, please indicate this by including &ldquo\;[for satellite workshop]&rdquo\; under the title of your abstract.
\nAbstracts must be anonymous\, in pdf format\, 2 A4 pages\, in a font size no less than 12pt. You may submit at most two abstracts but can be single author on only one.
\nLinguists and any others submitting very technical research: It is absolutely necessary that you do what you can to make your abstract accessible to an interdisciplinary audience. This doesn't mean eschewing all formalism\, but do pitch your abstract so that a non-technical reader can get something interesting out of it.

\n&lsquo\;(Perceived) Dichotomies in Mathematics: Opposites\, Boundaries\, and Tensions in the History and Philosophy of Mathematics&rsquo\;
\n&mdash\; Call for Abstracts &mdash\;
\nhttps://novembertagung.wordpress.com/novembertagung-2026/ \;
\nThe Novembertagung on the History and Philosophy of Mathematics is an international conference aimed at PhD students and early-career researchers in the history\, philosophy of mathematics and related areas. This event offers an opportunity to share your work in progress in a collegial atmosphere and receive feedback.
\nThe 36th edition of the Novembertagung will take place in Istanbul (Turkey) from November 3rd to 5th\, 2026. It will be hosted by theInstitute for the History of Science at Istanbul Medeniyet University. The keynote speakers will be confirmed in the coming weeks. Please see the website for the most up-to-date information.
\nThe conference is planned as an in-person event. For those who require financial assistance\, please indicate so in your application as we may be able to provide some funding.
\nThis year&rsquo\;s Novembertagung theme centres on Opposites\, Boundaries and Tensions in the History and Philosophy of Mathematics. We will explore the ways in which mathematical belief\, disagreement and conflict are both formed and conducted\, and the ways that these tensions and disagreements shape both the content and perception of mathematical belief. Believing that mathematical disagreement is much more substantial than a question of &lsquo\;right&rsquo\; and &lsquo\;wrong&rsquo\;\, we call for papers that explore how Opposites\, Boundaries and Tensions are formed\, expressed and entrenched throughout mathematical history.
\nAbstracts about the following\, non exhaustive\, list of topics will be welcomed:
\nAbstract dichotomies: objects and concepts\, theory and practice\, informal and formal reasoning\, etc.
\nThe formation of mathematical disciplines
\nThe resolution of mathematical disputes
\nThe roles of institutions in forming mathematical culture
\nHistorical and Philosophical approaches to the treatment of mathematical disputation
\nHow mathematical and &lsquo\;extra-mathematical&rsquo\; thought interact in shaping mathematical and non-mathematical belief
\nHistoriographical work that explores how these concepts are treated in the literature. \;
\nWhile the topic of the submission should ideally be related to the conference&rsquo\;s theme\, most topics that fall under the broader heading of philosophy or history of mathematics\, and that can fruitfully be connected to it will be welcomed as valuable additions to the conference. Early-Career and graduate students working on conflict theory in academia and society more general\, or at the intersection of the History of Mathematics and science more generally for example\, are also welcome to submit their work.
\nPhD students and early-career researchers are invited to submit abstracts.
\nAbstracts should be written in English and not exceed 300 words.
\nAll submissions should be suitable for a 20-minute presentation\, followed by a 10-minute discussion.
\nAbstracts should be sent as a PDF file prepared for blind review (do not put your name nor affiliation in the abstract\, only in your email) to
\nnovembertagung.hpm@gmail.com \;
\nPlease include your full name and affiliation in your email.
\nWe expect to secure funding for accommodation expenses\, or travel in exceptional cases\, as mentioned earlier. Please\, let us know in your application if you would like to be considered for funding.
\nThe deadline for submissions is May 31st\, 2026.
\nIf you have any further questions\, feel free to contact the organisers atnovembertagung.hpm@gmail.com

UID:20260520T082531Z-iCalPlugin-Grails@philevents-web-6b96c54f56-bljdq TZID:Europe/Berlin LOCATION:Geschwister-Scholl-Platz 1\, Munich\, Germany DESCRIPTION:Logic is often regarded as neutral within a theoretical\, conceptual framework.
\nOn a traditional view\, it is topic-neutral and metaphysically neutral: its laws and principles apply irrespective of subject matter\, abstracting from the particular domains to which they are applied. In this sense\, logic would provide a framework for reasoning independent of what we are reasoning about. Moreover\, as a scientific discipline\, logic is commonly expected to be neutral to social and political commitments. Indeed\, because of its high degree of abstraction\, this may be expected of logic more strongly than of most other disciplines.
\nMeanwhile\, the purely theoretical view on logic faces revisions from research practices through logical devices. Within a practical framework\, some philosophers and logicians have nevertheless questioned whether logic is genuinely neutral. For instance\, some have questioned whether topic-neutrality can be sustained considering debates over logical pluralism\, expressive power\, and domain pertinence. Others have discussed whether logic can\, in practice\, be disentangled from the social and institutional contexts in which it is developed\, taught\, and applied.
\nThis workshop will examine the idea of logical neutrality from multiple perspectives.
\nEvent dedicated to the memory of Susan Haack.

Our special issue "The Ethics of Medical Artificial Intelligence: Trust and the Adoption of AI in Healthcare" is now open for submissions.
We invite contributions that scrutinize how trust is formed\, sustained\, or eroded in AI-mediated clinical practice\, and how ethical\, epistemic\, organisational\, and socio-technical factors shape adoption.
The Collection is edited in Philosophy &\; Technology (Springer) and welcomes papers from philosophy\, ethics\, STS\, cognitive science\, social sciences\, law\, and AI/medical domains.
If your work engages with medical AI\, trust\, explainability\, governance\, clinical validation\, or responsible innovation\, we would be delighted to consider your submission.
Call for Papers---> The Ethics of Medical Artificial Intelligence: Trust and the Adoption of AI in Healthcare \; We look forward to your contributions and to advancing the debate on one of the most pressing issues in contemporary AI ethics. \; \; \;

The Amsterdam Colloquia aim to bring together linguists\, philosophers\, logicians\, cognitive scientists and computer scientists who share an interest in the formal study of the semantics and pragmatics of natural and formal languages. The Amsterdam Colloquia are organized by the Institute for Logic\, Language and Computation (ILLC) of the University of Amsterdam.
\nWith this year's edition\, the Amsterdam Colloquium turns half a century old! \; To celebrate the 50th anniversary we will host a special session on The Past and Future of Semantics. A history of the Amsterdam Colloquium can be found on the website of its Proceedings (https://platform.openjournals.nl/PAC/history). \;
\nIn addition to the general program and the special session\, the 25th Amsterdam Colloquium will feature a workshop on Semantics and Non-classical Logics. The Colloquium will also include a poster session and an evening lecture by Prof. Nicholas Asher\, jointly organised with the E. W. Beth Foundation.

The workshop \;Ifs\, Thens\, and Otherwises: New Perspectives on the Logic of Conditionals \;will bring together contributions addressing the semantics\, pragmatics\, and logic of conditionals\, including counterfactual conditionals and other related kinds of expressions\, from a wide range of perspectives. These include approaches from philosophical logic\, formal semantics\, epistemology\, and related areas.
\nThis workshop will be part of the \;1st Andean Congress for Epistemology and Logic \;(CAELO 1)\, to take palce from \;22 to 28 February 2027 in Lima. \;

The relation between phenomenology and religious experience can be considered in a variety of modes: epistemic (phenomenology as a "rigorous science" of religious experience in Husserl's sense)\; ontic (phenomenology as a way to access the core motive\, or regulative ideal\, of religion)\; analogical (phenomenological experience as a secular version of religious experience)\; generalizing (religious experience turning into phenomenological experience when stripped from its dogmatic frame)\, etc. Proposals can take critical\, descriptive\, theoretical\, comparative\, historical\, or other approaches\, and they can focus on the interplay between religious or spiritual experience and assorted theoretical approaches\, or proceed from such experience towards building a new theory. In accord with Husserl&rsquo\;s original intent\, the series welcomes attempts to locate spiritual or religious experience within a broader theory of the sciences (Wissenschaftslehre) and to expand phenomenology towards transcendental philosophy and metaphysics.
The series covers five areas:
1) Clarifications of religious and spiritual experience\, its formal phenomenological research\, and its relationships to art\, textuality\, culture\, anthropology\, politics\, and comparative religion\;
2) Metaphysical extensions of the phenomenology of religious and spiritual experience\;
3) Existential and psychological analyses\, in different traditions\, of religious and spiritual experience\;
4) Theologies of religious experience\, with or beyond a specific focus on ritual and liturgy\, including liberation theologies\, feminist theologies\, theologies at the intersection of religious experience and race\, social status\, etc.\;
5) The phenomenology of religious and spiritual experience as applied to and/ or examined within medicine\, nursing\, and the health sciences and the natural and social sciences.
The series is published in cooperation with the Society for the Phenomenology of Religious Experience\, \;www.sophere.org.
