As the science of reasoning, modern logic has become a fruitful field of research where exact sciences, humanities, and social sciences can be successfully connected. However, learning mathematical logic turns out to be a challenging task for many students due to its formal and abstract nature. For this reason, in 1998, a group of logicians led by María Manzano developed an ALFA Project (América Latina Formación Europea) named «Tools for Teaching Logic» and supported by the European Union. As a result, four editions of the International Congress on Tools for Teaching Logic have taken place since then (Salamanca 2000, Salamanca 2006, Salamanca 2011, and Rennes 2015).
The Department of Logic and Theoretical Philosophy of the Complutense University of Madrid—in collaboration with the Spanish Society of Logic, Methodology and Philosophy of Science (SLMFCE), the Mexican Academy of Logic (AML) and the Center for Studies in Philosophy, Logic, and Epistemology (CEFILOE)—will organize the Fifth Edition of the International Congress on Tools for Teaching Logic.
