Workshop on the History of Arabic Logic
7th May 2019 - 8th May 2019
Event Navigation
| The Workshop on History of Arabic Logic has two main aims: to make better known the richness and importance of Arabic logic, that is, logic developed and studied in Arabic-speaking lands from the 8th to the 15th centuries CE; and to provide a forum for interaction and discussion by scholars of Arabic logic. Since the last century, scholars have acknowledged the original and relevant contribution of medieval Arabic philosophers and thinkers to the development of medieval Western logic and, more generally, to the history of logic. Location: The Workshop will take place in the Hebdomadar’s Room. To find this room, locate the University Chapel on the north side of North St. Go through the archway beneath the clock tower at the west end of the Chapel, and turn immediately left, go up some steps and through the door. Continue upstairs and the Hebdomadar’s Room is on the first floor (that is, the floor above the ground floor) on the right. |
