aboutlogic #07 | We’re joined by Alexander Steen, who works on logics to be used in legal contexts.
In this episode, we talk about the relationship between ethics and law, how good old-fashioned artificial intelligence can help legal practitioners, and how to use theorem proving practices for this.

aboutlogic #06 | We’re joined by Colin Rittberg to discuss the philosophy and sociology of mathematics and the concept of epistemic injustice within mathematical communities.

We’re joined by Steve Awodey, one of the founders of Homotopy Type Theory.
In this episode, we talk about the relationship between philosophy and mathematics, the main ideas behind geometric thinking and logic, and how all of this connects to computer science.

Today we’re joined by Graham Priest from New York, a philosopher who also studied mathematics and is well known for many things. In particular, we will talk about contradictory logics – logics where we can work with a contradiction without being able to prove everything. We’ll also discuss non-standard topics, including non-standard arithmetic and non-standard set theory, and how all of this is philosophically motivated.
