Inconsistency and the Sorites Paradox (Otávio Bueno)

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[...]

Interdisciplinary Conference on “#MeToo and Epistemic Injustice”
Interdisciplinary Conference on “#MeToo and Epistemic Injustice”
@ Roosevelt House
Oct 5 all-day
The CUNY Graduate Center Advanced Research Collaborative (ARC), the Center for the Humanities, and the Philosophy Program present an interdisciplinary conference on: “#MeToo and Epistemic Injustice” Over the past year, the #MeToo movement has forced into national consciousness what has long been an underground truth known by women: the horrifying pervasiveness of sexual harassment and assault as routine everyday occurrences, largely unpunished. How can one explain the resistance there has traditionally been, as recently brought[...]

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[...]

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)
@ 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.[...]
