Feminist logic(s): Potentials, challenges and the case of contradictions Ruhr University Bochum, Germany Work in the field of feminist logic is still rather scarce and the field itself remains a contested area of study, but still, it is developing. One approach concentrates on analyzing logical systems with respect to structural features that may perpetuate discrimination or, on the other hand, features that may be helpful for resisting and opposing it. Upon this assumption, we want to investigate possible applications of queer feminist views on logic with respect to a very specific group, namely contradictory logics, i.e., logical systems containing contradictions in their set of theorems. We want to show that bringing together contradictory logics and reasoning about queer feminist issues may prove fruitful both as a ‘real-life’ motivation for these rather marginalized logical systems and as a formal basis for a philosophical field that is still characterized by a distrust of formalism. | |
