Continental Philosophy of Non-Classical Logics
Call for Abstracts: An edited volume invites abstracts on Continental philosophy, non-classical logics, critiques of rationality, phenomenology, dialectics, and related approaches.
Continental Philosophy of Non-Classical Logics
Continental Approaches to Non-Classical Logics
Non-classical logics are formal systems that differ in important ways from classical logic. Since classical logic is partly grounded in traditional conceptions of rationality, non-classical logics can function as critiques of established assumptions about rationality. The volume explores how such critiques intersect with Continental philosophical traditions.
Topics of Interest
Possible topics include:
Relevance logics and sense
Continental critiques of logic extended to non-classical logics
Paracompleteness and totality
Feminist critiques of traditional rationality and non-classical reasoning
Paraconsistency and Heidegger
Kristeva, the abject, and the inclosure schema
Phenomenology, intuitionism, and contradictory experience
Badiou on negation and void
Difference, différance, and the law of identity
Ineffability and reasoning at the limits of thought
Hegel's dialectic and dialethism
Modal logics and Deleuze's critique of the possible
Possible worlds, impossible worlds, and life worlds
Non-classical logics and non-philosophy
Alterity and non-classical negation
Non-classical reasoning and the structures of experience
Undecidability, nonmonotonicity, and the event
Pluralism, truth gluts, truth gaps, and many-valued logics
The editors welcome both exegetical and original formal or non-formal work, from scholars working in Continental or analytic traditions. Contributions may engage canonical figures such as Hegel, Heidegger, Deleuze, Laruelle, Levinas, Kristeva, and Foucault, as well as newer movements including new materialism, speculative realism, object-oriented ontology, and neo-rationalism.
Preliminary interest in the volume has been expressed by Edinburgh University Press for its Intersections in Continental and Analytic Philosophy series.
