Delving into the Essence of Human Thought: World Logic Day Takes Center Stage
On the 26th of November 2019, UNESCO declared World Logic Day during the 40th General Conference. This global initiative aims to support the development of logic through educational endeavors, research, and the widespread dissemination of this intellectual discipline. Beyond a mere observance, this event is a testament to the profound nature of human thought and the pivotal role of logic in shaping our understanding of the world. Associations, universities, and institutions worldwide unite in a collective effort, elevating logic from a cerebral pursuit to a public celebration, symbolizing its enduring impact on philosophy, sciences, and the intellectual fabric of humanity.
The ability to think, reason, and employ logic is quintessential to humanity, defining us as "rational animals" in the classic Western tradition. Despite its paramount role in shaping knowledge, sciences, and technologies, the importance of logic often escapes public awareness. UNESCO, in collaboration with the International Council for Philosophy and Human Sciences (CIPSH), is championing the proclamation of World Logic Day to bring logic's historical significance and practical implications to the forefront.
As UNESCO Director-General Audrey Azoulay aptly notes, "At the dawn of this new decade, the discipline of logic is utterly vital to our societies and economies." Our modern way of life, underpinned by computer science and digital technology, thrives on logical and algorithmic reasoning.
This dynamic and global celebration aims to promote logic's role in research and teaching, support logic-related activities, and enhance public understanding of its implications for science, technology, and innovation. UNESCO's commitment to establishing an ethical framework for Artificial Intelligence, an innovative product of logic, further underscores the profound impact logic has on our technological landscape.
Co-Hosts are Chris Fronda and Chelsea Toler Founders of Logictry that define Logic as "the ability (wisdom) to decide what choice is best for you based upon your options." In alignment with United Nations Sustainable Development Goals 16 & 17 and UNESCO's initiative, Logictry believes that collaboration and logic are imperative for creating a better, more peaceful world.
