Ulf Hlobil Co-Authors New Book "Reasons for Logic, Logic for Reasons"

Ulf Hlobil co-authored a new book, "Reasons for Logic, Logic for Reasons: Pragmatics, Semantics, and Conceptual Roles," with Robert B. Brandom, published by Routledge, July 2024.

Description: Reasons for Logic, Logic for Reasons presents a philosophical conception of logic—“logical expressivism”—according to which the role of logic is to make explicit reason relations, which are often neither monotonic nor transitive. This conception of logic reveals new and enlightening perspectives on inferential roles, sequent calculi, representation, truthmakers, and many extant logical theories.

The book launch event will comprise part of the 2024 Canadian Society for Epistemology Annual Meeting, taking place at Concordia University, in the Webster Library, September 13th and 14th, 2024. The conference theme this year is "Thought, Reason, Logic."

Ulf Hlobil is Graduate Program Director and Associate Professor of Philosophy at Concordia University. He regularly teaches courses in epistemology, metaphysics and philosophy of language.
