ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF LOGIC IN BRAZIL II: INITIATIVES IN BRAZIL RELATED TO LOGIC AND BRAZILIAN RESEARCH GROUPS DEDICATED TO LOGIC

Abstract

This article presents the second part of a historical overview of the development of logic in Brazil, and describes the development of contemporary logic in the county with an emphasis on its socio-institutional and interdisciplinary aspects. The first part of this historical overview appeared in the previous number of this journal, concerning the early logic studies, and the path to contemporary logic in Brazil. In an attempt to capture the various dimensions of the cultivation of logic in Brazil, we describe recognized groups for teaching and research on logic in the country, their areas of expertise, the periodicals and series of books edited by research centers devoted to logic, and the regular events organized by these centers. Both papers do not present or discuss the content of the research, or the specific results, of logicians or groups of researchers dedicated to logic in the country.
