The Many Sides of Logic

The ``Many Sides of Logic'' is a volume containing a selection
of the papers delivered at three simultaneous events held
between 11-17 May 2008 in Paraty, RJ, Brazil, continuing a tradition
of three decades of Brazilian and Latin-American meetings and celebrating
the 30th anniversary of an institution congenital with the mature
interest for logic, epistemology and history of sciences in Brazil:

CLE 30 - 30th Anniversary of the Centre for Logic, Epistemology and the
History of Science at the State University of Campinas (UNICAMP)

XV EBL -15th Brazilian Logic Conference

XIV SLALM - 14th Latin-American Symposium on Mathematical Logic

Several renowned logicians, philosophers and mathematicians gathered in
colonial Paraty, a historic village on the Brazilian
coast founded in the 17th Century and surrounded by the luscious Atlantic
rain forest to deliver lectures and talks celebrating the many sides of
logic: the philosophical, the mathematical, the computational, the historical,
and the multiple facets therein.

The topics of the joint conferences, well represented here, included
philosophical and mathematical Logic and applications with emphasis on
model theory and proof theory, set theory, non-classical logics and
applications, history and philosophy of logic, philosophy of the formal
sciences and issues on the foundations of mathematics.

The events have been preceded by a Logic School planned for students
and young researchers held at the UNICAMP campus in Campinas, SP.
