José Francisco Miró Quesada Cantuarias was the most important Peruvian philosopher of logic and mathematics. He was mainly concerned with constructing a theory of reason adequate for understanding the most important logical and mathematical discoveries of his time: Gödel's incompleteness theorems and heterodox logics. He is known for having coined the name "paraconsistent logic" for designating those logical systems for which the principles of contradiction and explosion do not hold generally. He has also been a pioneer in the fields of deontic logic and logic of law with his article "La lógica del deber ser y su eliminabilidad" (The logic of ought and its eliminability), written the same year as von Wright's Deontic Logic (1951).

It is our intention to honour his memory with a special issue devoted to works based in his legacy.

Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• Philosophy of Logic and Mathematics
• Theory of reason
• Logic and metaphysics
• Non-classical, heterodox and paraconsistent logics
• Deontic logic and logic of law
• Pedagogy of Logic and Mathematics
• History of Latin American logic
• Studies of the works of FMQC on the mentioned topic
