The Second International Conference on the History of Logic in China will take place on 27-29 April, 2013, Tianjin. Besides the general academic exchange, one of the main purposes of this conference is to take the first steps in a larger project, that of producing the Handbook of Logical Thought in China, to be published by Springer-Verlag both online and in print in a few years. We aim to develop a coherent plan for the book during the conference, thorough discussion in area groups among potential authors and editors from both mainland China and outside.
