Staff, Publications

Logicians at the Institute investigate philosophical and methodological problems of contemporary logic including analyses of classical and nonclassical logical systems (modal, multilateral, intuitional, deontic logic); their concrete logical and gnoseological aspects and applications, certain logical and semantic paradoxes; and the relationship between ontology and logic.

The department also deals with the problems of logical semantics and logical sequence; semiotics and philosophy of language; inductive logic; the logic-expert systems, the psychological aspects of logic; the relationship between logic and dialectics. They investigate problems of philosophy and methodology of science, especially philosophy of mathematics and the relationship between mathematics and logic; as well as the methodology of mathematical and computer modeling and issues of traditional logic, syllogistic, history of logic and the education of logic.

The department has organized more than ten national and international conferences and symposiums. The materials from these conferences were published in 12 volumes, among which: Types of Logical Systems and the Problem of Truth (Logic and its Change), 1988; The Problems of the Relations between Logic and Dialectics, 1990; Rational Activity, Effective Procedures and Intellectualization, 1988; Problems of Contemporary Logic, 1985; Logic and Application; Methodology of Mathematical Modeling; The Problems of Logic.
