Explanation, Distance & Dependence – Elanor Taylor (Johns Hopkins) 4:00 pm
Explanation, Distance & Dependence – Elanor Taylor (Johns Hopkins) @ CUNY Grad Center, rm 5307
Feb 8 @ 4:00 pm – 6:00 pm
One way for an attempt at explanation to fail is for the explanans (which does the explaining) to be too close to the explanandum (the thing explained). In this paper I discuss this feature, which I call explanatory distance.

I then discuss the implications of this View for some recent applications of grounding. Schedule for[...]

A Dynamic Solution to the Liar Paradox – Martin Pleitz (Muenster) 4:15 pm
A Dynamic Solution to the Liar Paradox – Martin Pleitz (Muenster) @ CUNY Grad Center, rm 3309
Feb 26 @ 4:15 pm – 6:15 pm
The Liar paradox arises when we combine the assumption that a sentence can refer to itself with our naïve notion of truth and apply our unrevised logic. Most current approaches to the Liar paradox focus on revising our notion of truth and logic because nowadays almost everyone is convinced that there are self-referential sentences. I will argue against this conviction. My argument starts from observations about the metaphysics of expressions: A meaningful expression is based[...]
