%%% The seminar series is inspired by some general principles. The starting point is the idea that historical knowledge is a powerful tool for understanding and advancing in all fields of science, including formal sciences. According to an established tradition, the study of the history of practices and concepts in the formal sciences is of secondary importance as compared to their understanding in abstract and purely theoretical terms. On the contrary, we believe that even the most technical and abstract notions or results are often best grasped by tracing their roots back to their often lost origins, and by following the steps of their evolution and development throughout decades, centuries, possibly millennia. With respect to formal sciences in general, the case of logic poses some specific problems—related, for example, to the particular relationship between logical abstraction and cognitive operations, or between logical expression, writing, and computation, and finally with respect to history itself. It has been argued that logic has no history, because it is meant to reflect linguistic and/or ontological structures that are essentially immutable. From our point of view, studying the history of logic instead means gaining new and meaningful insights about these structures by interpreting them from a genealogical perspective. In our view, logic is thus inseparable from its history. A history which lies at the crossroads of many disciplines, such as philosophy, mathematics, computer science, linguistics, cognitive sciences, anthropology, educational studies, and so on. In organising these seminar series, therefore, we hope to provide interested scholars with historical insights from experts in these fields. %%% []s, Joao Marcos -- LOGICA-L Lista acadêmica brasileira dos profissionais e estudantes da área de Lógica <logica-l@dimap.ufrn.br> --- Você está recebendo esta mensagem porque se inscreveu no grupo "LOGICA-L" dos Grupos do Google.
