Logos is a principle originating in classical Greek thought which refers to a universal divine reason, immanent in nature, yet transcending all oppositions and imperfections in the cosmos and humanity. The word λόγος (logos) traditionally means “word” but can also mean reason, principle, standard, thought, speech, or logic. Stoicists used the Logos doctrine as a principle for human law and morality. What does the logos of crime have to do with all the above? It is related since it refers to the research on the reason and causes of crime and is strongly associated with the logos of punishment. Both engaged the research of generations of criminologists, whether positivist, interactionist or critical. Since the topic of the conference is broad, it offers criminologists affiliated with the ESC together with historians, philosophers, sociologists, jurists and psychologists a notable opportunity for the discussion and presentation of their work.
