CALL FOR PAPERS

Submissions must be in clearly-written English. Instructions to Authors
are on: http://www.oxfordjournals.org/our_journals/igpl/for_authors.html.

To submit a contribution send a one page abstract to: eabarrio@gmail.com (c/copy to walter.carnielli@gmail.com)

Contributing papers are invited from both Philosophers, Logicians, Mathematicians and Computer Scientists.

FOCUS OF THE PAPERS

We invite papers that share a strong conceptual interest in the logics of formal inconsistency and formal inconsistency (LFIs) as tools to recovery some concept that traditionally cannot be expressed by plain logic (the paradigmatic case being paraconsistent logics). We are specially interested in papers that develops different applications of consistency and inconsistency operators to capture notions such as just truth, accidentally true, classicality, strong negation, indeterminateness, etc.

SCOPE OF THE SPECIAL ISSUE

• All papers related to Logics of Formal Inconsistencies those falling into the categories below are welcome:
• Consistency, Classicality and Recovery Operators
• Avoiding Hierarchies of Languages with Paraconsistent Logics
• Capturing Classical Logic using LFIs
• Recovery Operators in non-classical logics
• Many-valued Paraconsistent Logics with strong negation
• Modalities and Consistency Operators.
• Cut-elimination and Paraconsistency
• Non-transitive Logics and Inconsistencies
• Truth-Functionality and Paraconsistency.
