A Rare Celebration of Logic

You may not have noticed or, on the contrary, you may have celebrated World Logic Day 2025, which has just passed. World Logic Day is marked every 14th January and is officially recognised by UNESCO. The annual celebration of all things logical was created in 2019 by a Swiss logician with degrees in mathematics and philosophy, Jean-Yves Beziau, who is now Professor at the University of Brazil in Rio de Janeiro.
