What Contains What? The Relationship Between Mind and World, in Science and in Contemplation – Piet Hut (Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton) 5:30 pm
What Contains What? The Relationship Between Mind and World, in Science and in Contemplation – Piet Hut (Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton) @ Faculty House, Garden rm 1
Sep 14 @ 5:30 pm – 7:30 pm
There is a clear need for a worldview that includes science and contemplation, arguably the two greatest achievements of humanity in studying the nature of reality. In my talk I will focus on the possibilities for future integration of aspects of science and contemplation, and perhaps even some far-future form of unification. For these developments to proceed, two things must happen. From the science side, the role of the subject needs to be analyzed in[...]

Applying Causal Modeling to Philosophical Issues – Sander Beckers (Utrecht) 4:15 pm
Applying Causal Modeling to Philosophical Issues – Sander Beckers (Utrecht) @ CUNY Grad Center, 7395
Sep 17 @ 4:15 pm – 6:15 pm

In particular, causal modeling has been used rather successfully in constructing formal definitions of actual causation, aka[...]

The Quantified Argument Calculus, with Application to the Barcan Formulas and Necessary Existence (Hanoch Ben-Yami) 4:15 pm
The Quantified Argument Calculus, with Application to the Barcan Formulas and Necessary Existence (Hanoch Ben-Yami) @ CUNY Grad Center, 6494
Sep 24 @ 4:15 pm – 6:15 pm
I present a logic system I recently developed (RSL 2014), the Quantified Argument Calculus or Quarc. Quarc is closer in syntax and logical properties to Natural Language than is the Predicate Calculus, on any of its versions, and it is no less powerful than the first-order Predicate Calculus. This makes analysing the Barcan formulas and necessary existence by its means particularly interesting. As we shall see, the analogues in Quarc of the Barcan formulas and[...]
