The aim of this conference is to strengthen the connection between logic and philosophy. In particular, we are hoping that more attention in future research will be paid to the philosophical study of logic, specifically, the study of the construction, and application, of logical framework appropriate for not only the analysis of philosophical concepts, but also the theorization of philosophical doctrines.

INTRODUCTION TO ASIAN WORKSHOP ON PHILOSOPHICAL LOGIC (AWPL-SERIES)
Asian Workshop on Philosophical Logic, a series of biennial events established since 2012, intends to promote mutual understandings among researchers on philosophical logic in Asian countries and/or Australasian region, and to establish closer collaborations in future. Each workshop is open to all philosophers and logicians around these regions, who share a certain common interest in a variety of logical/philosophical issues. The scope of the Workshop includes, but not exclusively, the family of non-classical logics, algebraic logic, computer science, cognitive science, linguistics, game theory, etc., and their applications in a variety of philosophical issues.
The First Asian Workshop on Philosophical Logic (AWPL-2012) was held at the Research Center for Integrated Science <http://www.jaist.ac.jp/rcis/> (RCIS), Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology <http://www.jaist.ac.jp/> (JAIST) on February 15-17, 2012. More than twenty scholars were invited and a special session for discussing the possibility of collaborations in the near future. It was then widely agreed that the workshop should be extended to a biennial event henceforth. The Second Asian Workshop on Philosophical Logic (AWPL-2014) was held at the Institute of Logic and Cognition, Sun Yat-sen University, April 12-13, 2014. A collection based on some selected papers from AWPL-2014, entitled ‘Modality, Semantic and Interpretation’, was published as the first volume of the book series ‘Logic in Asia’ (LIAA) by Springer. 


Appendix B

INTRODUCTION TO TAIWAN PHILOSOPHICAL LOGIC COLLOQUIUM (TPLC-SERIES)

TPLC is a series of biennial conferences established since 2012 and is hosted by Department of Philosophy, National Taiwan University, Taiwan. The aim of the TPLC-series is to provide a forum for dialogues amongst philosophers and logicians with regard to a variety of issues and topics of current interest. We intend to bring together a group of logic-minded philosophers and philosophically oriented logicians so as to promote the development of logic and analytic philosophy in Asian area, especially in Taiwan.

The TPLC-series are open not only to interested local scholars. We also invite several distinguished international scholars as plenary/keynote/invited speakers and welcome contributed talks from abroad as well. To strengthen a closer connection with other philosophy communities in the neighbourhood, at the early stage of this series, the invited philosophers and logicians are mainly from Asian and Australasian regions. 
The scope of this series of colloquium will cover: philosophical logic (in a broad sense), non-classical logics, algebraic logic, all kinds of semantics/logics relating to metaphysical/epistemological concepts and some issues in philosophy of language, philosophy of logic/mathematics, and their applications in computer science and cognitive science.

The first Taiwan Philosophical Colloquium (TPLC-2012) was held on December 7, 2012; and TPLC-2014 was held on October 24-25, 2014. Apart from two keynote speeches delivered by Robert Goldblatt and Hiroakira Ono, there were sixteen invited/ contributed talks by scholars from Australia, China, Japan, Hong Kong, Netherlands, and local scholars. A post-conference proceedings of TPLC-2014, entitled Structural Analysis of Non-Classical Logics, will be published as the second volume of the newly established book series ‘Logic in Asia’ (LIAA), by Springer in October 2015.
