CALL FOR ABSTRACTS
********************************************************************

The workshop GPMR-LS1 is the inaugural workshop of the working group
"Logic & Semantics" of the Gesellschaft für Philosophie des Mittel-
alters und der Renaissance. We aim to bring together all researchers
interested in logical and semantical aspects of medieval and early
modern philosophy, and cordially invite them to attend our workshop.

As a consequence, the topic of the workshop,  "Medieval Logic  and
Modern Applied Logic", is to be understood as an  emphasis, not an
exclusive topic. Presentations concerning all parts of medieval and
early modern logic and semantics are welcome.

Concerning the emphasis, we aim at

     1. isolating and identifing techniques and theories in medieval
        logic which may be of use to solving modern questions of
        applied logic;
     2. explaining conceptually difficult parts of medieval logic by
        applying techniques of modern logic.

********************************************************************
TOPICS OF INTEREST
********************************************************************

GMPR-LS1 topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

* applications of supposition and ampliation theory to modern seman-
   tics
* game semantics for obligationes
* formalizing medieval theories of deontic and epistemic logic with-
   in the framework of modern action and modal logic
* investigating medieval solutions to insolubilia
* similarities in approach between medieval authors and modern deve-
   lopments.
