In particular, the editors feel that the deep insights from the classical phase of mathematical logic can form a harmonious mixture with a new, more ambitious research agenda of understanding and enhancing human reasoning and intelligent interaction in their full extent, whence our title “Games, Norms and Reasons”. This broad view of logic animated the Second Indian Conference on “Logic and its Relationship with other Disciplines” held at IIT Bombay, Mumbai 2007, the origin of most of the papers in this volume, while a few additional ones have been solicited by the edit
