We usually meet roughly once every 2 weeks to informally discuss a draft paper by one of our members, but Spring 2018 we will be meeting less frequently.

The Metasemantics of Indefinite Extensibility – Vera Flocke (NYU)

The Metasemantics of Indefinite Extensibility – Vera Flocke (NYU)
@ CUNY Grad Center, rm 3309
Mar 5 @ 4:15 pm – 6:15 pm
Indefinite extensibility is the thesis that any domain of quantification can always be expanded. But how is the possibility of expanding domains of quantification reflected in the semantics of quantified sentences? This paper discusses the relevant meta-semantic options within a framework that distinguishes between semantic values and assertoric contents. This choice of a framework is independently motivated, helps received accounts of indefinite extensibility to escape weighty objections and adds to the available metasemantic options. I[...]

“Sextus Empiricus’ Fourth Conditional and Containment Logic” Yale Weiss (CUNY)

“Sextus Empiricus’ Fourth Conditional and Containment Logic” Yale Weiss (CUNY)
@ CUNY Grad Center, rm 8203
Mar 8 @ 2:00 pm – 4:00 pm
In a famous passage from Outlines of Pyrrhonism, Sextus Empiricus presents four different accounts of the conditional in increasing strength. Contemporary analogues have been identified (subject to various degrees of controversy) for the first three, but the last, which even fails to satisfy A>A, has proved elusive. In this talk, I discuss ways of modeling this heterodox conditional. Taking a cue from Sextus, I regard the characteristic feature of this conditional as one of proper[...]

Racial Inequality Conference
Racial Inequality Conference
@ CUNY Grad Center: Skylight rm 9100, Elebash Recital Hall
Mar 9 – Mar 10 all-day
The United States, supposedly founded on the “self-evident” principle of human equality, has in fact been a profoundly racially unequal society from the start. Yet for many years the striving for racial justice and racial equality has been obscured by an evasive discourse of “diversity.” Particularly with the recent rise of white nationalism, however, it has become urgently important to recognize and address the ongoing inequalities of race. This 2-day interdisciplinary conference will bring together[...]

Confessing to a Superfluous Premise – Roy Sorensen (WUSTL)

Confessing to a Superfluous Premise – Roy Sorensen (WUSTL)
@ CUNY Grad Center, rm 3309
Mar 12 @ 4:15 pm – 6:15 pm
In a hurried letter to beleaguered brethren, Blaise Pascal (1658) confesses to a lapse of concision: “I have made this longer than usual because I have not had time to make it shorter.” Pascal’s confession was emulated with the same warmth as philosophers now emulate the apology introduced by D. C. Mackinson’s “The Preface Paradox”. Could Pascal’s confession of superfluity be sound? Pascal thinks his letter could be conservatively abridged; the shortened letter would be[...]

Admissibility of Multiple-Conclusion Rules of Logics with the Disjunction Property (Alex Citkin)

Admissibility of Multiple-Conclusion Rules of Logics with the Disjunction Property (Alex Citkin)
@ CUNY Grad Center, rm 3309
Mar 19 @ 4:15 pm – 6:15 pm
I study admissible multiple-conclusion rules of logics having the meta-disjunction expressible by a finite set of formulas. I show that in such logics the bases of admissible single- and multiple-conclusion rules can be converted into each other. Since these conversions are constructive and preserve cardinality, it is possible to obtain a simple way of constructing a base of admissible single-conclusion rules, by a given base of admissible multiple-conclusion rules and vice versa. Because the proofs[...]

Consistency Conditions on Fundamental Physics – Rachel Rosen (Columbia University).

Consistency Conditions on Fundamental Physics – Rachel Rosen (Columbia University).
@ Columbia University Philosophy Dept.
Mar 20 @ 2:10 pm – 4:00 pm
as our understanding of the universe and its basic building blocks extends to shorter and shorter distances, experiments capable of probing these scales are becoming increasingly difficult to construct. Fundamental particle physics faces a potential crisis: an absence of data at the shortest possible scales. Yet remarkably, even in the absence of experimental data, the requirement of theoretical consistency puts stringent constraints on viable models of fundamental particles and their interactions. In this talk I’ll[...]

Buddhist Theories of Truth, Truth-Telling, and Lies – Kin Cheung (Moravian College)
@ Columbia Religion Dept. rm 101
Mar 30 @ 6:30 pm – 8:30 pm
Contrary to Damien Keown (2001), who worries that metaphysical and epistemological inquiry may distract from ethical investigation, Bronwyn Finnigan and Koji Tanaka (2008) argue such questions may provide grounding for practical application of a Buddhist ethical path. I follow this line of inquiry into Buddhist theories of truth in order to better understand right speech as conceived in the Early Buddhist Suttas. I focus on what the Abhaya Sutta explicitly instructs and what it leaves out regarding[...]
