Isomorphisms in a Category of Proofs – Greg Restall

Isomorphisms in a Category of Proofs – Greg Restall
@ CUNY Grad Center, rm 3309
Apr 9 @ 4:15 pm – 6:15 pm
In this talk, I show how a category of classical proofs can give rise to three different hyperintensional notions of sameness of content. One of these notions is very fine-grained, going so far as to distinguish p and p∧p, while identifying other distinct pairs of formulas, such as p∧q and q∧p; p and ¬¬p; or ¬(p∧q) and ¬p∨¬q. Another relation is more coarsely grained, and gives the same account of identity of content as equivalence[...]

Questioning the Evidence for Cosmic Expansion – Elise Crull (CCNY)

Questioning the Evidence for Cosmic Expansion – Elise Crull (CCNY)
@ CUNY Grad Center, rm 5307
Apr 10 @ 4:00 pm – 6:00 pm
Expansion is a key feature of the standard cosmological model, yet evidence for it is not as strong as often believed. The only direct evidence is galactic red-shifting, but reasoning from these data to expansion is not straightforward. I argue that the relationship is better understood as inference to the best explanation, and granting this, that expansion is not the obvious best explanation. This is demonstrated by investigating the fitness of the ΛCDM model as[...]

Metaphysics Beyond Grounding – Daniel Nolan

Metaphysics Beyond Grounding – Daniel Nolan
@ CUNY Grad Center, rm 3309
Apr 16 @ 4:15 pm – 6:15 pm
Thinking about metaphysical problems in terms of grounding has its uses, but those uses are limited. I am not a sceptic either about grounding or our ability to make progress on some metaphysical puzzles by invoking it, but I will argue it only has a partial role to play in our metaphysical theories. I will discuss how grounding relates to necessity, to explanation and to parsimony in theory choice. Finally, I will discuss the connection[...]

Quantifiers and Modal Logic – Melvin Fitting

Quantifiers and Modal Logic – Melvin Fitting
@ CUNY Grad Center, rm 3309
Apr 23 @ 4:15 pm – 6:15 pm
In classical logic the move from propositional to quantificational is profound but essentially takes one route, following a direction we are all familiar with. In modal logic, such a move shoots off in many directions at once. One can quantify over things or over intensions. Quantifier domains can be the same from possible world to possible world, shrink or grow as one moves from a possible world to an accessible one, or follow no pattern[...]

World-Relative Truth and Pre-Worldly Truth- Sungil Han (Seoul National University)
@ CUNY Grad Center, rm 3309
Apr 30 @ 4:15 pm – 6:15 pm
The problem of contingent existence – the problem of how an actual individual, say Socrates, could have not existed – has been a thorny problem in actualist theorists of modality. To solve the problem, Robert Adams divides world-relative truth into truth-in-a-world and truth-at-a-world and proposes that Socrates’s nonexistence is possible in the sense that his nonexistence is true at some possible world, not in some possible world. Adams’s solution relies on a semantic principle by[...]
