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.

\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.

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:\n
\n
How can we know what it’s like to be someone else? Cl
assical Indian philosophers found the answer in theater\, arguing that it’
s not just a form of entertainment\, but a source of knowledge of other mi
nds. In this talk\, I’ll explore how this theme is developed in Śrī Śaṅkuk
a (c. 850 CE) and examine the reasons his views were rejected in the later
tradition. I’ll argue that those reasons are unsound\, and that we can se
e why by turning to contemporary studies of the relationship between knowl
edge and luck.

Jonardon Ganeri is the Bimal. K. M
atilal Distinguished Professor of Philosophy at the University of Toronto.
He is a philosopher whose work draws on a variety of philosophical tradit
ions to construct new positions in the philosophy of mind\, metaphysics an
d epistemology. His books include Attention\, Not Self (2017)\, a
study of early Buddhist theories of attention\; The Concealed Art of
the Soul (2012)\, an analysis of the idea of a search for one’s true
self\; Virtual Subjects\, Fugitive Selves (2020)\, an analysis of
Fernando Pessoa’s philosophy of self\; and Inwardness: An Outsiders’
Guide (2021)\, a review of the concept of inwardness in literature\,
film\, poetry\, and philosophy across cultures. He joined the Fellowship o
f the British Academy in 2015\, and won the Infosys Prize in the Humanitie
s the same year\, the only philosopher to do so.

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.
\nHi\, All. Below
is the provisional program for the Workshop this coming semester. Meetin
gs will be as usual: Mondays 16.15-18.15 at the GC. Room 9205. We are reve
rting to face to face meetings. (No more Zoom.)

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: In Sanskrit epistemology\, philosoph
ers are preoccupied with the notion of pramā. A pramā\, roughly\, is a men
tal event of learning or knowledge-acquisition. Call any such mental event
a knowledge-event. In A Confection of Refutation (Khaṇḍanakhaṇḍakhādya)\,
the 12th century philosopher and poet Śrīharṣa argued that knowledge-even
ts are indefinable. Any satisfactory (and therefore non-circular) definiti
on of knowledge-events will have to include an anti-luck condition that do
esn’t appeal back to the notion of learning or knowledge-acquisition itsel
f. But there is no such anti-luck condition. What is novel about Śrīharṣa’
s argument is that it is motivated by his commitment to a certain “knowled
ge first” approach to epistemology: the view that knowledge-events are epi
stemically prior to other non-factive mental states and events. On this vi
ew\, when we are trying to determine whether an agent has undergone a know
ledge-event\, we don’t initially ascribe to them some other non-factive me
ntal event\, and then check if that event meets some further conditions (l
ike truth or reliability) necessary for it to count as a knowledge-event\;
rather\, we treat certain mental events by default as knowledge-events un
til a defeater comes along. Surprisingly\, Śrīharṣa argues that this kind of “knowledge first” epi
stemology should give us reason to doubt whether our ordinary attributions
of knowledge-events are reliably tracking any sui generis psychological k
ind. In this talk\, I reconstruct Śrīharṣa’s position.

College)

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).
