Game semantics is an approach to formal semantics that grounds the concepts of truth or validity on game-theoretic concepts, such as the existence of a winning strategy for a player, somewhat resembling Socratic dialogues or medieval theory of Obligationes.
In logic, the semantics of logic is the study of the semantics, or interpretations, of formal and natural languages usually trying to capture the pre-theoretic notion of entailment.

The World Congress of Philosophy is a global meeting of philosophers held every five years under the auspices of the International Federation of Philosophical Societies (FISP). First organized in 1900, these events became firmly established after the Second World War. Each World Congress is sponsored by one of the member societies in a different country, which assumes responsibility for the organization of that Congress. The purpose of these events is to contribute to the development of professional relations between philosophers of all countries, promote philosophical education, and contribute to the impact of philosophical knowledge on global problems. The 24th World Congress of Philosophy was held in Beijing in August 2018. The 25th World Congress of Philosophy will take place in Melbourne in July 2023. It will be hosted by the Australasian Association of Philosophy.
The KK thesis or KK principle is a principle of epistemic logic which states that "If you know that p is the case then you know that you know that p is the case." Its application in science can be expressed in the way that it must not only justify its knowledge claims but it must also justify its method of justifying. In formal notation the principle can be stated as: "Kp→KKp".

The Nordic Journal of Philosophical Logic was an international journal of philosophy started in May 1996. The journal considered submissions in any of the areas associated with Philosophical Logic and with the application of logic in conceptual analysis. The journal was edited at the Department of Philosophy, University of Oslo. Issues and articles were freely available over the internet, and are still available at the Nordic Journal of Philosophical Logic. Around 2000 the journal transferred to Taylor and Francis, who issued two volumes, but the journal closed in 2002. The issues of the journal published before the transfer of the journal to Taylor and Francis are available at its archive at the University of Oslo, which is also available from the web site of the Scandinavian Logic Society.

Barry Loewer is a philosopher and Chairperson of the Rutgers University Department of Philosophy and director of the Rutgers Center for Philosophy and the Sciences. He obtained his BA from Amherst College (1965) and his PhD from Stanford. Loewer has published in many areas of philosophy including philosophy of mind, metaphysics, epistemology, history of philosophy, philosophical logic, philosophy of language, and the philosophy of science. He is especially known for work on mental causation, the metaphysics of laws and chance, and the interpretation of quantum mechanics. Loewer has collaborated with Marvin Belzer, Ernest Lepore, and David Albert. In his work with Albert he is known for developing the "many-minds interpretation" of quantum theory. The point of this work was not so much to advocate this view as to argue that many worlds interpretations need to be modified to accommodate probabilities. This has become a much discussed and contended issue.
Some Remarks on Logical Form was the only academic paper ever published by Ludwig Wittgenstein, and contained Wittgenstein's thinking on logic and the philosophy of mathematics immediately before the rupture that divided the early Wittgenstein of the Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus from the later Wittgenstein. The approach to logical form in the paper reflected Frank P. Ramsey's critique of Wittgenstein's account in the Tractatus, and has been analyzed by G.E.M. Anscombe and Jaakko Hintikka, among others.
