Greetings! I’m Bo. I’m a postdoc at KU Leuven, where I am working on an FWO-funded project on indirect proof in the modern, Latin, and Arabic logical traditions.

My main research interest is philosophical logic, drawing on the long history of the subject. I am especially interested in the relations between logic, natural language, and ontology, from medieval logicians (in the Latin and Arabic traditions) down to our present day. How for instance does one’s metaphysical outlook influence one’s logic? How do views on logic shape views on language? That sort of thing.

I have also written on linguistics, promoting student engagement, and the philosophy of humour. Along with with Gyula Klima, I am associate director of the Society for Europe’s History of Ideas (SEHI).

I place a significant emphasis on outreach. To that end, I keep a YouTube channel about logic (Logic with Bo), and a Twitter page about Latin (@MedievalLatin). Recently, I appeared on BBC Radio to talk about George Boole’s role in the history of logic and computing.
