Unifying classicality and non-classicality

Project description

Combining classical and non-classical logic of mathematics

Classical mathematics employs classical logic and ZFC set theory, whereas non-classical mathematics utilises alternative approaches. The MSCA-funded UCAN project seeks to integrate the study of classical and non-classical elements within mathematical logic and the philosophy of logic. It aims to expand the reconciliation of classical and non-classical aspects into the realms of philosophy of logic and set theory. This approach stands out from prior attempts at such unification, as only an algebraic approach possesses the necessary generality for this endeavour. The project’s outcomes promise to yield fresh insights in both of these areas of study.

Objective

This project aims to bring together the study of classicality and non-classicality within the fields of mathematical logic and philosophy of logic. The project is divided into two parts. First, we will unify classical and non-classical foundations of mathematics within a set-theoretic framework. Moreover, our approach is distinctive from previous attempts of such unification. We believe only an algebraic approach has sufficient generality for such a task. Secondly, we will extend our reconciliation of classicality and non-classicality to the area of philosophy of logic and philosophy of set theory. In particular, we plan to unify the study of set-theoretic and logical pluralism. We believe this will allow us to gain new insights into both fields of study.
