Substructural logics and its limits

The project has two interrelated general aims: (i) contribute to the development of a conception of logicality that better fits with the recent developments in the field of substructural logics, mainly related to some key applications, such as the vagueness phenomena and the semantic paradoxes; (ii) assess the pros and cons of this new conception of logicality with respect to more traditional approaches, that understood a logic as a set of inferences closed under some key (Tarskian) properties, such as reflexivity, transitivity and monotonicity.

“Inspired by the enriching visit of Professor Barrio, we forged new research ideas and international partnerships. Our workshop on the identity of substructural logics brought together a diverse group of researchers from the Universities of Tübingen and Buenos Aires, as well as collaborators from across the globe, such as Professor Ahmad from Kuwait. Through these discussions, we gained a deeper understanding of various research methods, existing paradigms, and the key obstacles in our work, particularly in applying substructural logics to semantic paradoxes. Building on this momentum, we plan to use the initial TRT funding to develop preliminary data, which will serve as the foundation for future grant applications. Our next major step is to organize a second conference on the project's topic, planned for 2026.”
