SCOPE OF THE SERIES

Trends in Logic is a bookseries covering essentially the same area as the journal Studia Logica – that is, contemporary formal logic and its applications and relations to other disciplines.

However, this list is not exhaustive, moreover, the range of applications, comparisons and sources of inspiration is open and evolves over time.
