Career

Béziau works in the field of logic—in particular, paraconsistent logic, the square of opposition and universal logic. He holds a Maîtrise in Philosophy from Pantheon-Sorbonne University, a DEA in Philosophy from Pantheon-Sorbonne University, a PhD in Philosophy from the University of São Paulo, a MSc and a PhD in Logic and Foundations of Computer Science from Denis Diderot University.

Béziau is the editor-in-chief of the journal Logica Universalis[1] and of the South American Journal of Logic—an online, open-access journal—as well as of the Springer book series Studies in Universal Logic.[2][3] He is also the editor of College Publication's book series Logic PhDs[4]

He has launched four major international series of events: UNILOG (World Congress and School on Universal Logic), SQUARE (World Congress on the Square of Opposition), WOCOLOR (World Congress on Logic and Religion), LIQ (Logic in Question). Such events have included major figures of mathematics, philosophy, computer science and religion such as Saul Kripke, Michal Heller, Laurent Lafforgue, Yuri Gurevich, Pierre Cartier [5], [6].

Béziau is the current president of the Brazilian Academy of Philosophy [7].
