What does it mean that Contradiction is the Norm of Truth? Elena Ficara (Paderborn) Logic & Metaphysics Workshop

What does it mean that Contradiction is the Norm of Truth? Elena Ficara (Paderborn) Logic & Metaphysics Workshop
@ CUNY Grad Center, 7314
Apr 1 @ 4:15 pm – 6:15 pm
In my talk I argue for the thesis CT: contradiction is the norm of truth, and ask about its relevance for contemporary philosophical logic. I first present three positions in the history of philosophy that have advocated some versions of CT, namely Plato’s idea of the “dialectical gymnastics” in the Parmenides (Plato, Parmenides 136 B-E), Aristotle’s notion of dialectics in the Topics (Aristotle, Topics I, 2-3) and Metaphysics (Aristotle, Met III 1, 995 a 24-29), and Hegel’s contradictio est regula veri (Hegel Werke 2, 533), then derive[...]

Intersubjectivity and Interpretation: CUNY Grad Conference 2019
Intersubjectivity and Interpretation: CUNY Grad Conference 2019
@ CUNY Grad Center, rm tba
Apr 5 all-day
In ethics, in epistemology, in philosophy of mind and even (Searlean protestations notwithstanding) in ontology interest has steadily been growing in the idea that intersubjectivity is a central concept for understanding various aspects of our world. Similarly, the concept of interpretation has come to attention in a new light as a key means by which the interactions between subjectivities is mediated. This line of research raises a number of philosophical questions: – What is intersubjectivity?[...]

Classical Logic and the Strict Tolerant Hierarchy (Chris Scambler)

Classical Logic and the Strict Tolerant Hierarchy (Chris Scambler)
@ CUNY Grad Center, 7314
Apr 8 @ 4:15 pm – 6:15 pm
In this talk I will do three things. First: I will present the central results from Barrio, Pailos and Szmuc’s recent paper “A hierarchy of classical and paraconsistent logics” (forthcoming in the JPL) along with some generalizations derived by observing certain symmetries; second, I will discuss the relation between the strict tolerant logics and classical logic, K3 and LP; third, I will try to convey the exact state of uncertainty about the philosophical significance of[...]

Structural Counterfactuals and the Importation Problem (Jenn McDonald). Logic & Metaphysics Workshop

Structural Counterfactuals and the Importation Problem (Jenn McDonald). Logic & Metaphysics Workshop
@ CUNY Grad Center, 7314
Apr 15 @ 4:15 pm – 6:15 pm
Structural causal models lend themselves to an analysis of counterfactuals – a structural semantics of counterfactuals. The basic idea is that a causal model allows for the clear and precise evaluation of any counterfactual encoded by it. Many argue that a structural semantics is superior to a more traditional similarity semantics, in part due to the latter’s independence from any notion of similarity(Galles & Pearl, 1998; Gallow, 2016; Hiddleston, 2005; Hitchcock, 2018; Pearl, 2000; Starr,[...]

Existence is Evidence of Immortality. Michael Huemer (UC Boulder)

Existence is Evidence of Immortality. Michael Huemer (UC Boulder)
@ NYU Philosophy Dept. rm 202
Apr 26 @ 3:30 pm – 5:30 pm
The universe plausibly has an infinite future and an infinite past. Given unlimited time, every qualitative state that has ever occurred will occur again, infinitely many times. There will thus exist in the future persons arbitrarily similar to you, in any desired respects. A person sufficiently similar to you in the right respects will qualify as literally another incarnation of you. Some theories about the nature of persons rule this out; however, these theories also[...]

A Mechanistic Conception of Metaphysical Grounding- Tommy Kivatinos. Logic & Metaphysics Workshop

A Mechanistic Conception of Metaphysical Grounding- Tommy Kivatinos. Logic & Metaphysics Workshop
@ CUNY Grad Center, 7314
Apr 29 @ 4:15 pm – 6:15 pm
A dominant theoretical framework in philosophy of science employs the notion of mechanistic dependence to elucidate how higher-level, less fundamental phenomena depend upon and arise out of lower-level, more fundamental phenomena. To elucidate the same thing, literature in metaphysics employs the notion of grounding. As I argue, regardless of whether the notion of mechanistic dependence or the notion of grounding is used to theoretically portray how higher-level phenomena arise out of lower-level phenomena, what is[...]
