Celebrating World Logic Day 2021 around the globe
----------------------------------------------------------

UNESCO proclaimed World Logic Day in 2019, in association with the International Council for Philosophy and Human Sciences (CIPSH), to enhance public understanding of logic and its implications for science, technology and innovation. "In the twenty-first century - indeed, now more than ever - the discipline of logic is a particularly timely one, utterly vital to our societies and economies. Computer science and information and communications technology, for example, are rooted in logical and algorithmic reasoning." - Audrey Azoulay, Director General of UNESCO
