Second Symposium on the Languages and Logics of Syllogistics (SYLLOS2)
After a first succesful edition within the Polish Congress of Logic, the Second Symposium on the Languages and Logics of Syllogistics (SYLLOS2) will happen in Lima, Peru, as satellite event of the 1st Andean Congress on Epistemology and Logic (CAELO 1).
CALL FOR PAPERS
SYLLOS2 invites submissions of abstracts for presentations on syllogistics in a broad sense. We welcome formal, philosophical, and historical contributions addressing, for example, Aristotle’s original syllogistic, Hellenic and medieval developments, and contemporary approaches to syllogistic reasoning, including both work in favour of and against syllogistics. Possible topics include, but are not limited to:
Aristotle’s syllogistic and its interpretation
The languages and formal systems of syllogistic
Hellenistic and late-antique developments
Medieval syllogistic and its transformations
Syllogistic and the history of logical theory
Formal reconstructions and extensions of syllogistic
Syllogistic reasoning and natural language
Philosophical foundations and interpretations of syllogistic
The relation between syllogistic and other logical systems
Contemporary approaches to, and criticisms of, syllogistic
Syllogistic, semantics, and consequence
Applications of formal and computational methods to historical syllogistic
Comparative studies of different syllogistic traditions
New perspectives on the scope, limits, and relevance of syllogistic reasoning
We particularly welcome contributions that combine formal, philosophical, and historical perspectives and that bring new approaches to longstanding questions concerning the languages, structures, and logical foundations of syllogistic reasoning.
Submission deadline: September 20, 2026
