Fabien Schang is a qualified teacher of philosophy. Doctor in philosophy, his PhD thesis was made in France (Université Nancy 2); then he developed his research project in various countries: Germany (Dresden), Russia (Moscow), and Brazil, before returning to France.
Associate member of the Archives Poincaré (Université de Lorraine, France), reviewer in various scientific journals (i.e., History and Philosophy of Logic, Logic Universalis, Journal of Non-Classical Applied Logics).
Author of international scientific journals, books, and translations.
Co-organizer of international events in philosophy and logic (i.e., Universal Logic, The Square of Opposition).
His formation relates to analytic philosophy, especially the formal trend dealing with philosophy of logic (meaning of logical constants, monism/pluralism/relativism in logic), philosophical logics (epistemic logic, modal logic, many-valued logics), non-classical logics (paraconsistent and paracomplete logics), including a focus on formal semantics with respect to the theory of opposition (opposition-forming operators, meaning as predication, bitstring semantics) and the theory of valuation (the nature of logical values, structured ordered values).
His main interest relates to formal philosophy, i.e., the application of formal tools to philosophical problems that lie inside epistemology (formal epistemology, theory of knowledge, belief models) and even beyond (metaphysics: being vs non-being; political science: left vs right in politics, international relations) and may apply to philosophical logics.
His current research project, "The Ways of Disagreement", endorses a so-called "pluralist pluralism" by exemplifying three main kinds of pluralism: logical, epistemological, and axiological. Whilst contributing to the very debated issue of disagreement in the philosophical community, the central aspect of such a reflection deals with a formal theory of values, including a constructive definition of logical values as structured sets and leading to analogical settings between basic truth-values (true/false) and ethical values (good/bad). A possible application of this abstract framework is a subproject about "Formal politics", i.e., a formal analysis of the political left-right distinction in terms of alethic-ethical inferences between ideological concepts.
