DFG Forschergruppe Logik in der Philosophie
Philosophie.Forschung.Abgeschlossene Projekte.Drittmittelprojekte.DFG Forschergruppe Logik in der PhilosophieWelcome to the homepage of the research group "Logic in Philosophy". We believe that logic ought to bear in mind the rest of philosophy, and vice versa. We apply this creed to a range of issues from epistemology, metaphysics, the philosophy of language, and the philosophy of mind.
Our headquarter is in Constance, where quite a few of us reside. We have branches in Regensburg, São Paulo, and Stuttgart. The group is financed by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft.
