The aim of the project is threefold: (1) to construct a general formal theory of relevance in reasoning, (2) to develop a philosophically satisfying characterization of the semantics of the relevant logics developed, and (3) to use the notions of "relevant deduction" and "relevant implication" for solving problems within philosophy of science.
