The Chair organizes courses in all areas of philosophical logic, philosophy of logic, philosophy of language, philosophy of mathematics, and mathematical philosophy, and it does so on all levels, such as introductory courses in logic, courses in intermediate logic, and courses in advanced logic. The topics of these courses include: classical predicate logic, deontic logic, epistemic logic, modal logic, constructive logics, formal theories of truth, higher-order logic, model theory, proof theory, the logic of questions, computability, incompleteness, and undecidability.
