At LUCI Lab, logic is primarily a research mindset. We are inspired by, and seek to contribute to, the most pressing questions arising in science and technology.  We are extremely lucky to be witnessing the coming of age of data-intensive and AI-driven science. They are redefining the very meaning of scientific knowledge, how it is produced, and how it is transferred to society. At LUCI Lab, we ask what should follow from this kind of knowledge while it is still in the making.

    Title: The heuristic use of conditionalisation Abstract: This paper argues that Bayesian conditionalisation should not be viewed as a universal norm of updating, but rather as a heuristic principle that is helpful in some circumstances but fails in others. I go on to show that the heuristic use of conditionalisation can be validated by an…

  • Talk by Marianna Girlando at LUCI seminar

    Title: Conditional logics and labelled proof systems (an introduction) Abstract: Conditional logics, as introduced by David Lewis in 1973, enrich the language of classical propositional logic with a two-places modal operator, the conditional, suitable to represent fine-grained notions of conditionality. After introducing conditional logics and their semantics, that I will define in terms of neighborhood…

  • Talk by L. Ceragioli at the workshop Realism and Anti-realism

    Leonardo Ceragioli will present “Proof-theoretic semantics and anti-exceptionalism” at the workshop Realism and anti-realism. Paradigms and research programmes in logic and the philosophy of mathematics, held at the Carl Friedrich von Weizsäcker-Center of the University of Tübingen on April 28th-29th, 2025. Abstract. In my seminar, I will explore the potential for integrating proof-theoretic semantics with…

  • Talk by E. Kubyshkina at PhilMath seminar

    Ekaterina Kubyshkina will present “A Hyperintensional Setting for Ignorance” at the PhilMath seminar, hosted by the IHPST at the University of Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne (France), on March 4th at 14:00. Abstract: In our presentation, we propose an analysis of ignorance as a hyperintensional notion. In situations where two propositions are logically equivalent, an agent may…

    Title: Bias in asking for a second expert’s opinion (joint work with Barbara Osimani, Michal Sikorski and Zhitao Zhang) Abstract: In science, policy, and everyday life it is often advantageous to ask for a second expert’s opinion. Intuitively, it seems beneficial to provide the second expert with some background information, including the fact that there was…
