Projektbeschreibung der*des Nominierenden

Professor Weber is well known internationally for his outstanding research on non-classical logical systems, in particular inconsistency-tolerant paraconsistent logics. The properties of mathematical theories based on paraconsistent logics are usually investigated by using classically valid reasoning principles. However, Professor Weber is faithful to the non-classical point of view and uses non-classical metatheories. During his stay in Germany, he will continue his research on paraconsistent metatheory.
