Workshop on Logical Dialogue Games

Vienna, September 28 - 30, 2015
co-organised by the TU Vienna and the University of Bamberg

Formal logic can be viewed through the lens of game theory as witnessed by Lorenzen's dialogue game for intuitionistic logic. By connecting proofs on the one hand to winning strategies on the other hand one may strive for a deeper understanding of logical concepts like validity, (in)dependence, or possibility. Vice versa, one may investigate how certain properties of these games are reflected in the resulting logics. This workshop is intended to bring together the latest research in dialogical logic.
