Logic Lounge

The Logic Lounge is the pop-up meeting place for friends of logic from science and the public. During the Vienna Summer of Logic 2014 logicians from the fields of philosophy, mathematics, computer science and artificial intelligence present basic concepts of the “science of reasoning”. Discussing these concepts with their hosts live and in public for exactly an hour from 17:00 to 18:00 on seven dates July 14–23 the scientists offer insights into the millennium old discipline of logic, celebrating the antique concept of the philosophical symposium (from Greek συμπίνειν sympinein, “to drink together”). Set at the Heuer Coffee Bar Garden Restaurant in the Kunsthalle Wien right on the Karlsplatz within easy reach of the three venues the Logic Lounge is the enlightening and entertaining epicenter of the world’s biggest conference on logic. The participants are (in chronological order): Christos Papadimitriou, Georg Gottlob, Richard Zach, Roderick Bloem, Byron Cook, Moshe Vardi, Magdalena Ortiz and Ruzica Piskac.
