The Taiwan Philosophical Logic Colloquium (TPLC-series, TPLCs for short) is one of two series of biennial conferences established since 2012 and is hosted by Department of Philosophy, National Taiwan University, Taiwan. (The other is the series of Taiwan Metaphysics Colloquium (TMC-series, TMCs for short), established since 2013). Funding is mainly sourced from annual donation by Ms. Wendy Huang and Shun Yih Ltd. The primary concern of this funding is to enhance the research of logic and analytic philosophy in Taiwan.
The aim of TPLCs is to provide a forum for dialogues amongst philosophers and logicians with regard to a variety of significant issues and topics from philosophical and logical perspectives. We intend to bring together a group of logic-minded philosophers and philosophically oriented logicians. We hope that TPLCs and TMCs will become a series of inspiring events so as to promote the development of logic and analytic philosophy, especially philosophical logic and metaphysics in Asian area, especially in Taiwan.
In order to bring in more philosophical discussions in TPLCs, the organizing committee has decided that for each TPLC, henceforth, a particular topic/issue/problem, which has involved some philosophical debates, will be set as the main theme. We are hoping that, apart from the general topics in philosophical logic, there could be a certain portion (say, half) of talks focusing on the main theme. The main theme of TPLC 2025 will be modal logic, broadly construed.
The study of modal logic has driven a great deal of recent progress in philosophical logic. While much work on modal logic has focused on necessity and possibility, including their various applications in epistemic, temporal, and deontic logics, interest in other modalities and modal operators has been increasing. Along with new model-theoretic methods for studying modal logics, many new proof-theoretic methods have been developed, as well, to help us better understand how we can reason with modal concepts. In addition, there has been an increasing amount of research on modal extensions of non-classical logics, departing from the common approach of studying modal extensions of classical logic. We hope to continue to build on these developments by bringing together researchers from many areas of logic to discuss the cutting edge results and trends in philosophical, broadly construed.
