DESCRIPTION:\n
Abstract: It i
s widely recognized by proponents of the notion that grounding can be\, in
deed is\, overdetermined. Further to this\, it seems safe to suppose that
something of a consensus has emerged: grounding is overdetermined and the
re is nothing about it\, either conceptually or metaphysically\, that we o
ught to find concerning. But from a small sampling of alleged cases no su
ch conclusions can responsibly be drawn. This paper aims to demonstrate t
hat there is nothing obvious or straightforward about grounding overdeterm
ination and that the topic is deserving of much more serious philosophical
attention.

DESCRIPTION:The Saul Kripke Center is pleased to announce that William N
ava (PhD student\, Philosophy\, NYU) will deliver the eighth Saul Kripke C
enter Young Scholars Series talk on Friday\, October 8\, 2021\, from 1:00
to 3:00 pm (NY time) via Zoom. The talk is free and open to all\, but thos

\nTitle: The significance and scope of
the adoption problem
\nAbstract: The adoption p
roblem is an argument purporting to show that certain logical inferen
ce rules cannot be rationally ‘adopted’—roughly because one would need to
already be guided by the inference rules in question to go about adopting
them. In this talk\, I’ll first argue that this argument is best understoo
d as showing that certain rules are necessary for adoption of rules in
general (where their own unadoptability is then a corollary). I’ll t
hen defend the argument from the objection that the notion of adoption is
too narrow for the argument to be relevant to logical debates. Finally\, I
’ll consider the question of just which rules the argument applies to. I c
onclude that the argument does not apply to any classical inference rules
in full generality\, but only to somewhat ad hoc restrictions of some of t
hem. On the other hand\, I’ll also show that the argument does ap
ply to the transparent truth rules—or\, more precisely\, to restrictions o
f them that suffice to generate paradox. What falls out of these considera
tions is an ur-logic to which everyone must subscribe on pain of
inability to adopt any new rules at all\; and which\, though quite minimal
\, is incompatible with classical logic by virtue of including the truth r
ules.

DESCRIPTION:\n
The Saul Kripke Center is pleas
ed to announce that James Shaw (Associate Professor\, Philosophy\, Univers
ity of Pittsburgh) will deliver a talk on Thursday\, February 17th\, 2022\
, from 2:00 to 4:00 pm (NY time) via Zoom. The talk is free and open to al
l\, but those interested in attending should email the Saul Kripke Center
in advance to register if they are not part of the CUNY Graduate
Center’s Philosophy Program or are not on the Saul Kripke Center’s mailing
list.

Title: Kripkean Necessities\, Imaginative
Kripke Puzzles\, and Semantic Transparency
\n
Abstract: Kripke (1980) famously argued that some a posteriori statements are ne
cessary when true. I begin by exploring an unusual technique to try to lea
rn these necessities merely through imagination that I call “Semantic Imag
inative Transfer”. I explore an idealized instance of this technique which
I suggest leads to an imaginative variant of Kripke’s (1979) puzzle about
belief. I note that on some widespread assumptions (including that propos
itional idiom can be maintained in the face of Kripke puzzles)\, the ideal
ized example restricts the space for accommodating Kripkean necessities to
two families of views: familiar\, broadly Guise-Theoretic approaches to p
ropositional attitudes\, and unconventional and largely unexplored views e
mbracing semantic transparency principles. I briefly review some of the hi
story of transparency principles\, make some conjectures as to why they we
nt out of fashion following the work of semantic externalists (including K
ripke)\, and make a plea for exploring the consequences of their adoption.
Along the way I note the significance of doing so: the transparency princ
iples render Kripkean necessities a priori.

DESCRIPTION:Brooklyn Public Philosophers is a forum for philosophers in
the greater Brooklyn area to discuss their work with a general audience\,
hosted by the Brooklyn Public Library. Its goal is to raise awareness of t
he best work on philosophical questions of interest to Brooklynites\, and
to provide a civil space where Brooklynites can reason together about the
philosophical questions that matter to them.

ins-the-success-of-medieval-french-song
DESCRIPTION:Poets and singers in a number of medieval vernacul
ar languages reached non-native audiences and inspired speakers of other l
anguages to compose in theirs\; and many imagined their compositions enjoy
ing a universality similar to that of cosmopolitan languages like Latin an
d Arabic. An interesting rationalization of these aspirations can be disce
rned in a short verse narrative of a well-known episode in the youth of Al
exander the Great\, conqueror of India\, together with his tutor\, the phi
losopher Aristotle. Not only does it involve Greeks and Indians singing Fr
ench songs and cosplaying French lovers\, but the philosopher is induced t
o pretend to be a horse and then justifies his behavior as “natural\,” wit
h far-reaching implications which this talk will explore.
\nSarah Kay is Professor Emerita in the Department of Fre
nch Literature\, Thought and Culture at New York University and Life Fello

tinguished Visiting Scholar in the Columbia Society of Senior Scholars.

DESCRIPTION:Neopragmatists seek to sidestep metaphysical puzzles by shif
ting the target of philosophical explanation from the objects we think and
talk about to the functions of expressions and concepts in our cognitive
economy. Logical vocabulary can serve as a target for neopragmatist inquir
y\, and it has also posed obstacles to neopragmatist accounts of other voc
abulary. I will argue that the obstacles can be addressed by adopting a ne
opragmatist perspective toward logical relations\, such as logical consequ
ence\, and toward propositional content. Doing so calls into question two
purported constraints on explanations of the functions of logical connecti
ves. I will sketch an account made possible by rejecting those constraints
\, one according to which logical connectives serve to express dialectical
attitudes. The proposal is deflationary in two ways: it rests on an exten
sion of deflationism from truth to logical relations\, and it aims to defl
ate some of neopragmatists’ theoretical ambitions.

DESCRIPTION:Saul Kripke announced his possible world semantics in 1959\,
and published his proof of axiomatic completeness for the standard modal
logics of the time in 1963. It is very unlike the standard completeness p
roof used today\, which involves a Lindenbaum/Henkin construction and prod
uces canonical models. Kripke’s proof involved tableaus\, in a format tha
t is difficult to follow\, and uses tableau construction algorithms that a
re complex and somewhat error prone to describe. I will first discuss Krip
ke’s proof\, then the historical origins of the modern version. Then I wi
ll show that completeness\, proved Kripke style\, could actually have been
done in the Lindenbaum/Henkin way\, thus simplifying things considerably.
None of this is new but\, with the parts collected together it is an int
eresting story. “In my end is my beginning”.

DESCRIPTION:The sender-receiver model was developed by David Lewis to ta
ckle the question of the conventionality of meaning. But many people who c
ared about the conventionality of meaning did so because they thought it w
as intimately connected to the conventionality of logic. Since Lewis’s wor
k\, only a few attempts have been made to say anything about the nature of
logic and inference from the perspective of the sender-receiver model. Th
is talk will look at the what’s been said in that regard\, by Skyrms and o
thers\, and suggest a few general lessons.

DESCRIPTION:What we call first-order logic over fixed domain was initiat
ed\, in a certain guise\, by Peirce around 1885 and championed\, albeit in
idiosyncratic form\, by Zermelo in papers from the 1930s. We characteriz
e such logics model- and proof-theoretically and argue that they constitut
e exploration of a clearly circumscribed conception of domain-dependent ge
nerality. Whereas a logic\, or family of such\, can be of interest for an
y of a variety of reasons\, we suggest that one of those reasons might be
that said logic fosters some clarification regarding just what qualifies a
s a logical concept\, a logical operation\, or a logical law.

DESCRIPTION:
On the basis of Poincaré and Weyl’s view of predicativity as
invariance\, we develop an extensive framework for predicative\, type-fre
e first-order set theory in which Γ0 and muc
h bigger ordinals can be defined as von Neumann ordinals. This refutes the
accepted view of Γ0 as the ‘limit of pr
edicativity.’ We also explain what is wrong in Feferman-Schütte analysis o
f predicativity on which this view of
Γ0
is based.

DESCRIPTION:We consider the game of infinite Wordle as played on Baire s
pace ωω
span>. The codebreaker can win in finit
ely many moves against any countable dictionary Δ⊆ωω\, but not again
st the full dictionary of Baire space. The Wordle number is the siz
e of the smallest dictionary admitting such a winning strategy for the cod
ebreaker\, the corresponding Wordle ideal is the ideal generated by
these dictionaries\, which under MA includes all dictionaries of size les
s than the continuum. The Absurdle number\, meanwhile\, is the size
of the smallest dictionary admitting a winning strategy for the absurdist
in the two-player variant\, infinite Absurdle. In ZFC there are nondeterm
ined Absurdle games\, with neither player having a winning strategy\, but
if one drops the axiom of choice\, then the principle of Absurdle determin
acy has large cardinal consistency strength over ZF+DC. This is joint work
with Ben De Bondt (Paris).
