In > different cultures, the definition of humanity is associated with concepts > such as consciousness, knowledge and reason. According to the classic western > tradition, human beings are defined as “rational” or “logical animals”. > Logic, as the investigation on the principles of reasoning, has been studied > by many civilizations throughout history and, since its earliest > formulations, logic has played an important role in the development of > philosophy and the sciences. > > Despite its undeniable relevance to the development of knowledge, sciences > and technologies, there is little public awareness on the importance of > logic. The proclamation of World Logic Day by UNESCO, in association with the > International Council for Philosophy and Human Sciences (CIPSH), intends to > bring the intellectual history, conceptual significance and practical > implications of logic to the attention of interdisciplinary science > communities and the broader public. > > A dynamic and global annual celebration of World Logic Day aims at fostering > international cooperation, promoting the development of logic, in both > research and teaching, supporting the activities of associations, > universities and other institutions involved with logic, and enhancing public > understanding of logic and its implications for science, technology and > innovation. Furthermore, the celebration of World Logic Day can also > contribute to the promotion of a culture of peace, dialogue and mutual > understanding, based on the advancement of education and science.
