--- The Second Taiwan Philosophical Logic Colloquium (2014 TPLC) Call for Papers 24th (Fri.) -- 25th (Sat.) October, 2014 The Program for Logic, Mind and Methodology (LMM), Department of Philosophy, National Taiwan University, Taipei, Taiwan

DEADLINE OF THE SUBMISSION OF ABSTRACTS: August 31st, 2014

DESCRIPTION OF THE COLLOQUIUM

The 2014 TPLC is the second of the series of Taiwan Philosophical Logic Colloquium, which is one of two series of biennial conferences established since 2012 and based in The Program for Logic, Mind and Methodology (LMM), Department of Philosophy, National Taiwan University, Taiwan. (The other one is the series of Taiwan Metaphysics Colloquium, established since 2013.) Each event in these two series by and large runs in one/two days only. We usually invite one or two distinguished philosophers/logicians as keynote speakers and 3-4 distinguished scholars from Asian and Australasian regions together with several contributed papers. We hope that the establishment of these two series will make a rewarding and inspiring series of events so as to promote the development of metaphysics and philosophical logic in Asian area, especially in Taiwan.

In particular, the aim of the series of Taiwan Philosophical Logic Colloquium is to bring together a group of logical-minded philosophers and a group of logicians with philosophical orientation. We intend, via the establishment of this series, to provide a forum for dialogues amongst philosophers and logicians with regard to a variety of significant issues and topics from philosophical and logical perspective, respectively. The scope of this series of colloquium will cover: philosophical logic (in a broad sense), non-classical logics, algebraic logic, all kinds of semantics/logics relating to philosophical concepts in metaphysics, epistemology, philosophy of language, philosophy of logic/mathematics, and their applications in computer science and cognitive science.

We are planning to publish a post-conference proceedings for the 2014 TPLC once we get enough number of submissions of high quality. We have already taken a contact with editor-in-chief of LIAA book series concerning with this matter. The LIAA (``Logic in Asia'') is a new established publication project for a series of logic books from Springer. See http://www.springer.com/series/13080. If our project is approved, a post- conference proceedings will be published as a volume of LIAA. All authors of papers presented at the colloquium will be encouraged to submit a full version and the deadline of submission of manuscripts will be around February of 2015. All papers submitted will be refereed to high journal standards, and acceptance as a presentation is no guarantee that the post-conference paper will be published. The approval and the details of the post-conference proceedings will be announced later.
