Beginnings
Despite my strong enthusiasm for my new weblog, I haven't a clue where to begin, so I shall opt for the old cop out of writing about writing (though I promise not to write about having nothing to write - it isn't true anyway.)
In my dreams, this weblog is a cross between languagelog and consequently.org, only even more beautiful than consequently.org, and even wittier and more eclectic than languagelog. In my dreams. In practice, as you can see, logicandlanguage.net is still growing into its beauty, and I don't have the breadth of knowledge of a single languagelogger (language lumberjack?), nevermind all sixteen of them. But I hope you are wondering what this weblog will be like, and sometimes aspirations can be a good guide to the future.
The explicit plan - open to revision as we progress - is to post a couple of hundred words a day on a topic related to logic, the philosophy of logic, or the philosophy of language, very broadly construed. Jokes, links to news stories and anecdotes are all on the cards, but so is formal logic, semantics, and maybe even a little philosophy of math(s).
