Deductive Systems with Unified Multiple-Conclusion Rules. Alex Citkin 4:15 pm
Deductive Systems with Unified Multiple-Conclusion Rules. Alex Citkin @ CUNY Grad Center, 7395
Mar 2 @ 4:15 pm – 6:15 pm
Some people fight for the rights of animals, I am fighting for the rights of rejected propositions. Following the approach suggested by Brentano and accepted and developed by Lukasiewicz, I study the deductive systems that treat asserted and rejected propositions equally, in the same way. By “statement,” we understand the expressions of form +A – “A being asserted”, and -A$ – “A being rejected”, where A is a proposition. Accordingly, by a “unified logic,” we[...]

Is There an *Absolute* Modality? Antonella Mallozzi 4:15 pm
Is There an *Absolute* Modality? Antonella Mallozzi @ CUNY Grad Center, 7395
Mar 9 @ 4:15 pm – 6:15 pm
Modality seems distinctively pluralistic: there are many kinds of possibility and necessity (logical, physical, metaphysical, normative, etc.), which seem significantly different from one another. However, the various modalities also seem to have much in common–perhaps simply in virtue of being kinds of modality. Should we suppose that there is some fundamental modality, one to which all the other modalities can be somehow reduced? Modal Monism says yes. Particularly, monists may treat the different modalities as relative to some absolute modality.[...]

Cancelled- The Statistical Nature of Causation. David Papineau 4:15 pm
Cancelled- The Statistical Nature of Causation. David Papineau @ CUNY Grad Center, 7395
Mar 16 @ 4:15 pm – 6:15 pm
For over a hundred years econometricians, epidemiologists, educational sociologists and other non-experimental scientists have used asymmetric correlational patterns to infer directed causal structures. It is odd, to say the least, that no philosophical theories of causation cast any light on why these techniques work. Why do the directed causal structures line up with the asymmetric correlational patterns? Judea Pearl says that the correspondence is a “gift from the gods”. Metaphysics owes us a better answer.[...]

The Adoption Problem in Logic: Devitt’s Flawed Quinean Solution. Jillian Rose Roberts 2:00 pm
The Adoption Problem in Logic: Devitt’s Flawed Quinean Solution. Jillian Rose Roberts @ CUNY Grad Center, C201
Mar 24 @ 2:00 pm – 4:00 pm
Can we adopt a new logic? If so, how? In unpublished talks, Saul Kripke has presented a certain message about this that Romina Padro has vigorously defended in What the Tortoise Said to Kripke—the Adoption Problem (2015). Padro contends certain basic logical principles cannot be adopted: “if a subject already infers in accordance with basic logical principles, no adoption is needed, and if the subject does not infer in accordance with them, no adoption is…possible.”[...]
