Abstract

We present this special issue of Principia on the interpretation of paraconsistent logics. After a brief discussion on the very idea of interpreting paraconsistent logics according to different perspectives, we introduce the source of the papers in this issue. Finally, we shortly present each paper that appears in this issue.
