Abstract Proof Theory Here the schedule of the workshop Workshop organized by PUC, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil University of Tübingen, Germany At present we do not have Abstract Proof Theory as a branch of Mathematical Logic, in the same sense in which we do have Abstract Model Theory - there is nothing so far comparable e.g. to Lindström's theorem in proof theory. But, to borrow an expression used by Kreisel, although we do not have a science (a discipline), we do have a natural history (scattered results). The changing scope of logic through its history also has important philosophical implications: is there such a thing as the essence of logic, permeating all these different developments? Or is the unity of logic as a discipline an illusion? What can the study of the changing scope of logic through its history tell us about the nature of logic as such? What do the different languages used for logical inquiry – regimented natural languages, diagrams, logical formalisms – mean for the practices and results obtained? Call for papers We invite submissions that belong to this intended field. The following is a non-exclusive list of possible topics. - Abstract deductive systems (generalized rules in natural deduction and in sequent calculi) Abstracts for this workshop should be sent via e-mail before November 15 2012 to: psh@informatik.uni-tuebingen.de or
