Even within the austere field of Mathematics, Logic is often > wrongly understood, if understood at all: if some Logic is taught at an > undergraduate level, it often stays down to the study of truth tables and a > misleading interpretation of those. (Xavier Vidaux, Concepcion, Chile) > > Aristotle regarded humans as rational animals, and it was Aristotle who > developed the first formal system of logic.

It > is not just its own discipline.

Logic can bring us all together. It is also > sometimes attacked, or neglected, in dark corners of societies, and it is > worthwhile for supporters to have an opportunity to remind the world of its > importance. (Mark Reynolds, Perth, Australia) > > It is worth noting that for totalitarian states the heresy of heresies is > logic. This idea was first said by George Orwell in his Nineteen Eighty- > Four, the dystopian science-fiction: > “In the end the Party would announce that two and two made five, and you > would have to believe it.†> Hence, the World Logic Day is to celebrate the most essential aspect of our > knowledge and our social life to be open society. (Andrew Schumann, Kraków, > Poland) > > What is a correct argument? How can we check its correctness? Can the > fundamental notions in mathematics or physics be based on admissible but > mutually incompatible theories? Are our basic mathematical principles true? > Since the times of Aristotle and the Stoics, Logic deals with these > fundamental questions. Fundamental answers to these problems have been > given by logicians, since the times of Aristotle and the Stoics. Today > Logic is a key tool in AI, computer science, mathematics, linguistics and > philosophy. Gottlob Frege, Kurt Gödel, Andrey Kolmogorov, John von Neumann, > Giuseppe Peano, Abraham Robinson, Bertrand Russell, Alfred Tarski, Alan > Turing, are just a few among many mathematicians, logicians and > philosophers whose ideas on the above problems have had a profound > influence in mathematics, science and social life. A World Logic Day will > help to promote Logic and its benefits in society, and to give students and > researchers opportunities to be made aware of the role of Logic in > contemporary science, and to contribute to this fascinating human > enterprise. (Daniele Mundici, Florence, Italy) > > World Logic Day is especially important in our turbulent world as > acknowledgement of the role of logic, argumentation and rationality for the > whole of humanity, as unifying common ground and language for interactions > between people and conflict resolution. (Ioannis Vandoulakis, Athens, > Greece) > >>From our ancient history untill the present in the West, but also in the > cultures and religions of the East, the Logos has been considered > characteristically human, and a definition of the laws of the universe. The > human faculty of language and reason is both constitutive of our individual > thought, as well as our common ground and basis of mutual understanding. > The formal study and practice of Logic has therefore been, and will always > remain, a central and most honorable human endeavour. (Paul Dekker, > Amsterdam, The Netherlands) > > Un tel événement présente en effet des enjeux qui dépassent très > largement > les frontières de l’univers académique. > Il permettrait en particulier de célébrer le caractère universel de la > raison humaine et la diversité de ses modes de déploiement à l’échelle > de > la planète. Il contribuerait ainsi aux initiatives scientifiques et > culturelles pour la paix dont le monde actuel a tant besoin. (Claude > Rosenthal, CNRS, Paris, France) > > In modern societies logic is no more merely a foundational scientific > discipline but a crucial part of the everyday algorithms that dominate more > and more our life. Logic is the most universal formal language that allows > to represent and solve real life problems in a more efficient way than > informal reasoning can do. We live in the century of artificial > intelligence and it is the development of logic that is at the heart of the > endeavor to implement human rationality in machines. This development > changes our culture all over the world and it should not be a process only > scientist are engaged with and industry profits from but a process that all > parts of society should be involved in. (Tim Lampert, Berlin, Germany) > > World Logic Day is important as the acknowledgement of the role of logic > for better understanding reasoning and modeling decision making process, > and providing a common language. These activities are critical in fostering > cooperation between individuals and more generally interest groups, in > order to solve the major issues for humanity (economic, social, cultural, > humanitarian…). (Dominique Luzeaux, Ministry of Defense, Paris, France) > > Logic is both the discipline responsible for the invention of the computer > and the one most relevant to the constraints of rational discourse.

(Timothy Williamson, Oxford, USA) > > Since the central mission of UN is the maintenance of international peace > and security, the international recognition of The World Logic Day by > UN/UNESCO is a necessary (and already late) step towards a public > consciousness about the strategic roles of logic in contemporary society. > After all, logic is independent of personal beliefs and has no political > boundaries. Logic is one of the indispensable common features that can be > peacefully shared by all people.
