Inconsistency and the Sorites Paradox (Otávio Bueno)
4:15 pm
Inconsistency and the Sorites Paradox (Otávio Bueno)
@ CUNY Grad Center, 6494
Oct 1 @ 4:15 pm – 6:15 pm
The Sorites paradox offers an unsettling situation in which, in light of its premises and the apparent validity of the argument, one may be inclined to take the argument to be sound. But this entails that vague concepts, ubiquitous and indispensable to express salient features of the world, are ultimately inconsistent, or at least the application conditions of these concepts seem to lead one directly into contradiction. In what follows, I argue that this inconsistent[...]

Oct 5 – Oct 6 all-day

In this workshop, some important themes of Dogen’s philosophy such as self, time, reality, causation, ineffability of the ultimate truth & etc., are reinterpreted, mainly but not exclusively, from the perspectives of analytic philosophy. Those analytic Dōgen studies[...]

Tableaux for Lewis’s V-family, Yale Weiss
@ CUNY Grad Center, 6494
Oct 15 @ 4:15 pm – 6:15 pm
n his seminal work Counterfactuals, David Lewis presents a family of systems of conditional logic—his V-family—which includes both his preferred logic of counterfactuals (VC/C1) and Stalnaker’s conditional logic (VCS/C2). Graham Priest posed the problem of finding systems of (labeled) tableaux for logics from Lewis’s V-family in his Introduction to Non-Classical Logic (2008, p. 93). In this talk, I present a solution to this problem: sound and complete (labeled) tableaux for Lewis’s V-logics. Errors and shortcomings in recent work on this problem[...]

The variety of scientism and the limits of science – Massimo Pigliucci (CUNY)
@ tbd
Oct 16 @ 4:30 pm – 6:30 pm
Abstract: Science is by far the most powerful approach to the investigation of the natural world ever devised. Still, it has limits, and there are many areas and questions where the scientific approach is ill suited, or at best provides only pertinent information rather than full answers. The denial of this modest attitude about science is called scientism, which declares science to be the only form of human knowledge and understanding, attempting to subsume everything[...]

Ontological Reductions of First Order Models, Alfredo Freire

Ontological Reductions of First Order Models, Alfredo Freire
@ CUNY Grad Center, 6494
Oct 22 @ 4:15 pm – 6:15 pm
Since the discovery of the Loweinheim-Skolem theorem, it has been largely held that there is no purely formal way of fixing a model for any first order theory. Because of this, many have focused on having a relative account of models, establishing the expressive power of one model in its ability to internalize models for other theories. One can, for instance, define a plurality of models for PA from a given model for ZF, and[...]

Ground and Paradox, Boris Kment (Princeton)

Ground and Paradox, Boris Kment (Princeton)
@ CUNY Grad Center, 6494
Oct 29 @ 4:15 pm – 6:15 pm
This paper discusses a cluster of interrelated paradoxes, including the semantic and property-theoretic paradoxes (such as the paradox of heterologicality), as well as the set-theoretic paradoxes and the Russell-Myhill paradox. I argue that an independently motivated theory of metaphysical grounding provides philosophically satisfying treatments of these paradoxes. It yields as corollaries a version of the iterative conception of set and an analogous solution to Russell-Myhill. Moreover, it generates a paracomplete solution to the property-theoretic paradoxes.[...]
