Dov Gabbay: “I am a Logic”

Based on the assumption that the Almighty has created a coherent being, that He has sprinkled a little logic in our minds, Dov M. Gabbay is working hard on getting theories on language, logic and information to converge. With that in mind, he publishes handbooks on all kinds of logic, he is an editor of the Journal of Logic and Computation and he is involved in the International Society for Pure and Applied Logic. When the roads come together, he wants to be on every one of them. ‘Like a roundabout, it will be Gabbay coming from this way, Gabbay coming from that way...’ We had to accompany him to the airport to have our interview, but then again, some people deserve the ‘Superstar approach’. Gabbay is now working at Imperial College in London, though officially on sabbatical to study Labelled Deductive Systems.
