Inquisitive Logic

Ivano Ciardelli conducts research in logic, philosophy of language, and formal semantics. He has worked on the logic of questions, the informational take on logic, and on the logic and semantics of conditionals, epistemic modals, and imperatives. He has published on these topics in Synthese, the Journal of Philosophical Logic, Linguistics and Philosophy, Logic and Logical Philosophy, and Natural Language Semantics. He was among the initiators of the research program on inquisitive semantics, and co-authored the inquisitive semantics textbook for Oxford University Press. He is group leader of a DFG Emmy Noether project based at the Munich Center for Mathematical Philosophy of LMU Munich, and an associate editor at the Journal of Philosophical Logic.
