Newton da Costa (1929-2024) is the major figure of logic in Brazil and was a driving force for the development of logic in South America.
He is known in particular for the development of paraconsistent logic. The study of the semantics for some paraconsistent systems, led him to a general semantics of bivaluations for many different logic systems. This was one of the main sources of inspiration for his PhD student Jean-Yves Beziau to develop universal logic, as a general theory of logical systems, in a way similar to universal algebra as a general theory of algebraic systems.
Organizer of the Prize: This prize is part of the project A PRIZE OF LOGIC IN EVERY COUNTRY. | ||||
