The Book “Logic around the World”

“Logic around the World” is a collection of articles in various disciplines of mathematical and philosophical logic by more than 20 logicians all around the world. It is edited by Dr. Massoud Pourmahdian and me and has been published by the logic group at the Amirkabir University of Technology on the occasion of the 5th annual conference of the Iranian Association for Logic (IAL).

The idea of providing such a unique collection goes back to early 2017 when I was the editor of the IAL News Bulletin. It is actually the result of the collective effort of countless people all across the globe who helped us in one way or another. On behalf of the editors, I would like to express our sincere gratitude to them all.

Please feel free to email me if you need the full text of the book for your personal use or would like to add any feedback. It will be our pleasure to hear from you! Here is the list of articles and contributors:
