Logic and Philosophy of Science Seminar
The Logic and Philosophy of Science Seminar, chaired by Prof. Gianluigi Oliveri, starts in 2012. Both the seminar's speakers and partecipants have been distinguished by a strong interdisciplinary character. School masters, and students of some of Palermo's high-schools --- liceo delle Scienze Umane e Linguistico 'Danilo Dolci' and liceo Scientifico 'Benedetto Croce'.--- contribute actively to the seminars.
