The UCLA Logic Center was established in the Fall of 2004, by a generous, anonymous donation. Its purpose is to foster teaching and research in logic, broadly understood to include all areas of mathematical and philosophical logic as well as the applications of logic to philosophy, linguistics and computer science. It provides support for graduate students, faculty and visitors, and it organizes scientific meetings, in association with other groups at UCLA and in the greater Southern California area.
The faculty affiliated with the Logic Center includes members of the UCLA Departments of Mathematics, Philosophy and Linguistics, as well as logicians from Caltech, UC Irvine, and the University of Southern California.
Famous quotes containing the words logic and/or center:
“We want in every man a long logic; we cannot pardon the absence of it, but it must not be spoken. Logic is the procession or proportionate unfolding of the intuition; but its virtue is as silent method; the moment it would appear as propositions and have a separate value, it is worthless.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Whether talking about addiction, taxation [on cigarettes] or education [about smoking], there is always at the center of the conversation an essential conundrum: How come we’re selling this deadly stuff anyway?”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
