History of World Logic Day
Started in 2019 through the efforts of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), this event was founded in collaboration with the International Council for Philosophy and Human Sciences (CIPHS).
The inaugural celebration of World Logic Day took place in more than 60 sponsored locations worldwide. Each year, the event seems to grow and change, adding unique elements such as the launch of the Women in Logic (WiL) website in 2022, as well as additional events celebrated throughout the globe.
World Logic Day’s date for celebration was chosen to honor two different important and distinctive figures in the world of logic.
January 14, 1978 marked the death of famous Austro-Hungarian logician, mathematician and philosopher, Kurt Gödel. Also, January 14, 1901 honors the birthdate of Polish-American logician and mathematician, Alfred Tarski.
The idea behind World Logic Day is to shine a light on the different aspects of logic among humans, including its intellectual history and conceptual significance along with its rather practical implications for the world and life.
