These 29 papers from the May 2000 conference present systems of paraconsistent logics and systems of non-standard logics with paraconsistent features, and analyze paraconsitency from a philosophical perspective. Some of the topics are a taxonomy of C-systems, the logic of opposition, a multiple worlds semantics for a paraconsistent nonmonotonic logic, fuzzy relevant logic, paraconsistency in Chang's logic with positive and negative truth values, and the question of whether paraconsistent negations exist.
