World Logic Day=Παγκόσμια ημέρα Λογικής=14.01.

Held annually on January 14th, World Logic Day was established to “bring the intellectual history, conceptual significance and practical implications of logic to the attention of interdisciplinary science communities and the broader public.” The celebration

aims at fostering international cooperation, promoting the development of logic, in both research and teaching, supporting the activities of associations, universities and other institutions involved with logic, and enhancing public understanding of logic and its implications for science, technology and innovation. 

According to Audrey Azoulay, Director General of UNESCO, the date of of January 14th was selected

in honour of two great logicians of the twentieth century: Kurt Gödel and Alfred Tarski. Gödel, who died on 14 January 1978, established the incompleteness theorem, which transformed the study of logic in the twentieth century. Tarski, who was born on 14 January 1901, developed theories which interacted with those of Gödel.

''To prepare students to thrive in a world driven by science and policy, we need to incorporate philosophy in the classroom,” especially philosophy of science .''

-so argue Nicholas Friedman (Stanford) & Stephen Esser (U. Penn) , who also provide links to lesson plans.
