 About

A consequence relation is paraconsistent if it is not explosive, i.e, from a contradictory pair of premises, not every formula follows. Newton da Costa, one of pioneers of paraconsistent logic, created a whole style of developing paraconsistent logics, and today Brazil is widely known for research on paraconsistent systems in this tradition, specially focusing on logics of formal inconsistency (which are generalizations of da Costa's original systems). Despite this fact, one frequently finds claims that the so-called 'Brazilian School of (Paraconsistent) Logic' does not  have a properly developed philosophy of paraconsistency. The Workshop on the Interpretations of Paraconsistent Logics aims at bringing to the center of the stage precisely the philosophy of paraconsistency in general, focusing on the variety of understandings of paraconsistency. In the II Workshop on The Interpretations of Paraconsistent Logics, that  will be held in Florianópolis, the discussions  focus in general on the philosophy of paraconsistency in the light of the contributions of da Costa to that theme, but are not confined to this. Other themes that will also be addressed are: the meaning of negation and contradiction; dialetheism; epistemic interpretation of paraconsistency;  semantic paradoxes and history of paraconsistency.
