Complutense University of Madrid

Edificio Multiusos, Room 1204

Madrid, Spain

Organizer: Elia Zardini

Funded by the BBVA-Foundation Leonardo Project “Logical Freedom”

Freedom and Ground in Logic (Day 1)

The notion of freedom is often understood in terms of the notion of ground (or kindred notions). This workshop explores the logics of these notions and their relations, and their relevance for philosophical problems ranging from free-choice phenomena in language to the metaphysical challenge posed by logical determinism.

Schedule (Local time, CET / UTC+1):

  • 10:00–11:30 — Elia Zardini (Complutense University of Madrid), “The Open Future: Metaphysics, Logic and Reasoning”
  • 12:00–13:30 — Peter Verdée (University of Louvain), “Indirect Logical Grounding and the Difference between Classical and Non-Classical Disjunctions”
  • 15:00–16:30 — Pilar Terrés (University of Valencia), “Logical Connectives under the Scope of Modal Operators”
  • 17:00–18:30 — Maria Aloni (University of Amsterdam), “Free Choice as Neglect-Zero Effect”

Registration: No registration fees. If you would like to attend, please contact Elia Zardini at ezardini@ucm.es.

Schedule (Local time, CET / UTC+1):

  • 10:00–11:30 — Jacek Wawer (Jagiellonian University), “The Simplest Argument for Logical Determinism”
  • 12:00–13:30 — Roberto Ciuni (Roma Tre University), “The Undecidability of Freedom”
  • 15:00–16:30 — David Boylan (University of Glasgow), “The Open Future in Possibility Semantics”

Logic and Computer Science: From George Boole to Artificial Intelligence

An afternoon World Logic Day 2026 symposium organised by the Degree Course in Computer Science at the University of Insubria, exploring the deep and enduring relationship between logic and computer science.

From the pioneering work of George Boole, who formalised logic as a mathematical language, to symbolic Artificial Intelligence based on symbols and logical rules, logic remains a foundational pillar of AI. The event also examines logic in dialogue with contemporary approaches based on statistical learning and neural networks.

Date/Time (Local): January 14, 2026, starting at 14:30 (CET)

From Classical Logic to AI

A specialised World Logic Day 2026 workshop on formal reasoning, designed for students in the final two years of secondary education. The workshop serves as a foundational and preparatory activity for the official WLD26 celebrations.

The main event features presentations by university faculty and researchers exploring logic and its diverse applications across philosophy, mathematics, and artificial intelligence. The primary objective is to cultivate and enhance students’ logical-deductive, analytical, and critical thinking skills.

By fostering an interdisciplinary dialogue between philosophy, mathematics, and computer science, the initiative highlights the historical and epistemological continuity connecting classical thought with modern scientific and computational paradigms.

Talk: Correspondence Problems for Classes of Postlinear Orders

Abstract:
We consider problems for definability and correspondence between closed predicate formulas and propositional formulas with intuitionistic semantics with respect to classes of postlinear orders. We prove decidability of the monadic second-order theory of the class of all countable postlinear orders and decidability of the problems for definability and correspondence for any first-order finitely axiomatisable class of postlinear orders.
