It is well-known that Lewis Carroll, the famous author of Alice in Wonderland, was a mathematician and logician.
His contributions to logic include a mature system of diagrams, a subscript notation for categorical propositions, a pioneering method of logic trees, a fabulous set of logical exercises and two paradoxes that have been widely discussed by his successors.
Carroll’s logic directly related to his other interests and concerns, notably literature, mathemat-ics, and religion.
Also, Carroll believed in the social utility of logic and worked on its popularization to a wid audience.
Carroll’s work in mathematics and logic has long been overshadowed by his literary reputation. However, recent decades witnessed a growing interest in Carroll’s serious writings. It is not rare anymore to meet with an isolated paper on Carroll’s logic at international conferences and journals.
The aim of this workshop is to gather contributions and studies related to Carroll’s logic in a single venue, and thus to encourage scholarship and exchanges on the subject.
