Phenomenology of Probability, Noah Greenstein (ME!)

Phenomenology of Probability, Noah Greenstein (ME!)
@ CUNY Grad Center, rm 3209
Oct 2 @ 4:15 pm – 6:15 pm
An account of fairness and probability is given using Game Theoretical Semantics to schematize fairness as a “draw” result of a logical game. The two concepts of probability — objective frequency vs. subjective belief — are then described as differences in game strategy. Lastly the logical machinery is used to potentially bridge the gap between the two, giving perspective on the problem of induction. Logic and Metaphysics Workshop Fall 2017: September 11 Lovett, NYU September[...]

Milica Denic on an Implicature Account of Quantifier Spreading in Child Language – Philosophy of Language Workshop
@ NYU Philosophy Dept. rm 302
Oct 2 @ 6:30 pm – 8:30 pm
Abstract: We will discuss a case of implicatures that are predicted to occur given certain assumptions about domain alternatives of indefinites (Fox 2007, Chierchia 2013), but are curiously absent in adult language. It will be proposed that these implicatures might be present in child language in the form of quantifier spreading, a well-known error children make (Inhelder and Piaget 1964, a.o.), judging sentences such as ‘Every girl took an apple’ to be false in situations[...]

It matters how you slice it: relativity and causation, Heather Demarest

Metro Area Philosophy of Science group (MAPS) Presents: Heather Demarest (University of Colorado, Boulder) 4:15-6:15pm, Tuesday October 3, CUNY room 5307 (365 5th Ave, New York NY). Title: It matters how you slice it: relativity and causation Abstract: I argue that if we take the standard formulation of special relativity seriously, causation is frame-dependent. Thus, many ordinary causal claims require a parameter to specify the relevant frame of reference. This is in contrast to[...]

Overturning the narrative: Maimon vs. Kant, Gideon Freudenthal
@ Wolff Conference Room, D1103
Oct 5 @ 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm
In my talk, I wish to outline an alternative to a chapter in the history of modern philosophy, and present Kant’s tenets in the Critique of Pure Reason in the spirit of the Vienna Circle, the origin of analytic philosophy. According to the traditional narrative, Kant overcame the limitations of British empiricism (Hume) and German rationalism (Leibniz) and with his “transcendental philosophy” raised philosophy to a new and superior level. Contemporary Leibnizian critics failed to appreciate the[...]

@ CUNY Grad Center, rm 7113
Oct 6 @ 10:30 am – 12:30 pm
How are beliefs stored? Belief storage is generally described with two metaphors. The first metaphor is that of a belief box, a functionally individuated storehouse where mental representations of certain propositions reside. A believer supposedly instantiates the belief relation, whatever exactly that is, to those propositions. This metaphor is meant to underscore the fact that the same propositions could be the contents of other propositional attitudes, if an agent bore a different sort of relation[...]

Conditionals with Impossible Antecedents – Dave Ripley (UConn)
@ CUNY Grad Center, rm 3209
Oct 16 @ 4:15 pm – 6:15 pm
Abstract: Many existing theories of counterfactual conditionals are committed to the claim that every counterfactual with an impossible antecedent is true. Call such conditionals “counterpossibles”, and this claim about them “vacuism”. As has long been noted, vacuism goes against many speakers’ intuitions. Some vacuists, for example David Lewis, have simply denied this, claiming that speakers do not in fact take any counterpossibles to be false. More recently, another vacuist, Timothy Williamson, has accepted that speakers[...]

The extraordinary power of music to communicate complex emotions and thoughts has fascinated scholars for centuries. Music taps into cognitive mechanisms that govern our daily interactions with the world, such as expectations and violations of these expectations, and appears to have much in common with language. In addition, music plays social and ethical functions that can be understood from philosophical, historical, and cultural perspectives. Join us for a discussion with three renowned scholars from the[...]

@ Wolff Conference Room, D1103

In this paper I draw attention to Sophie de Grouchy’s 1798 distinction between negative and positive right, which, upon examination, prefigures the famous distinction between positive and negative liberty. I analyse her treatment, and I argue that she should be accorded a significant place in the discussions of the tradition(s) of reflection on the famous distinction. First, I frame my discussion by revisiting Isaiah Berlin’s famous lecture and a recent editorial by Jason Stanley and[...]

The standard way to show the consistency of a theory, or the independence of a given statement from that theory, is to exhibit a model. But there’s more than one thing that’s been called a “model” as this notion has evolved from its original role in 19th century foundations of geometry to its current role as a universallyapplicable tool in logic. This talk investigates some of the changes that bring us to the modern notion,[...]

Theories of Entailment – Ed Mares, Wellington (NZ)
@ CUNY Grad Center, rm 3209
Oct 23 @ 4:15 pm – 6:15 pm
One traditional role of a logic of entailment is as a set of closure principles for theories. Looking at logics in this way, and as theories themselves, can be very interesting. A logic determines a closure operator (in Tarski’s sense) on sets of formulas. The theories generated by a closure operator themselves (sometimes) determine closure operators. Looking at the space of theories generated by a “master theory”, and the interaction of the closure operators that[...]

“Probabilistic Knowledge and Legal Proof” Sarah Moss (Univ. of Michigan)
@ NYU Philosophy Dept. rm 202
Oct 27 @ 3:30 pm – 5:30 pm
Abstract: Traditional theories of knowledge often focus on the epistemic status of full beliefs.

Constructive Expressivism, Jack Woods, Bristol
@ CUNY Grad Center, rm 3209
Oct 30 @ 4:15 pm – 6:15 pm
Abstract: It is a curious historical accident that emotivists, prescriptivists, and their mutual successor ethical expressivism have aimed to preserve classical logic. Given their flirtations—and sometimes outright affairs—with anti-realism, one would have suspected some expressivist or other would have bitten the bullet and argued that a logic of attitudes or force was, in fact, not a classical logic. Though there has been an occasional glance at mildly non-classical logics, like the various iterations of Kleene[...]
