FOCUS OF THE SPECIAL ISSUE

Logical systems of classical and Non-classical sorts are often endowed  
with a variety of interpretations: semantic, proof-theoretic,  
metaphysic, epistemic, pragmatic, informational, dialogical, and more.  
Work along these lines has led to the connection of logic to many  
other areas of knowledge and research. The attempt to draw these  
connections is, however, sometimes met with a number of criticisms. On  
the one hand, many of these interpretations have been subject to  
discussion, trying to determine if the conceptual and the formal  
aspects align as required. On the other hand, scholars who reject some  
contentions interpretations of certain formal systems debate whether  
these logics should be dispensed with in light of their philosophical  
interpretations, or whether it is possible to embrace them without  
endorsing such interpretations. Examples of the above are the debates  
between the fictionalist and the realist interpretations of possible  
worlds for modal logics, and between the dialetheic and the epistemic  
interpretations of paraconsistent logics. Furthermore, there is a  
question of which if any is the canonical application of logic as a  
discipline and therefore of any given logical system. In this vein,  
some scholars believe that a distinction between pure logic and  
applied logic needs to be taken into account, which may or may not  
resemble the Medieval divide between logica docens and logica utens.  
The aim of this special issue is to discuss these topics and to assess  
the effect of the answers provided in the relation between logic and  
the many disciplines related to it.
