History and Philosophy of Logic

Aims & Scope

History and Philosophy of Logic contains articles, notes and book reviews dealing with the history and philosophy of logic. ’Logic’ is understood to be any volume of knowledge which was regarded as logic at the time in question. ’History’ refers back to ancient times and also to work in this century; however, the Editor will not accept articles, including review articles, on very recent work on a topic. ’Philosophy’ refers to broad and general questions: specialist articles which are now classed as ’philosophical logic’ will not be published.

The Editor will consider articles on the relationship between logic and other branches of knowledge, but the component of logic must be substantial.

Topics with no temporal specification are to be interpreted both historically and philosophically.

Each topic includes its own metalogic where appropriate.
