SUMMARY:Metaphysics Seminar Greg Restall (University of 58³Ô¹Ï)
DESCRIPTION:Title: Worlds: Possible and Impossible \nAbstract: In this talk\, I’ll reflect on the role of worlds—both possible worlds and impossible worlds—both in the semantics of various kinds of languages and logics\, and in broader issues in metaphysics. I will argue that\, given very modest assumptions concerning the role of worlds in semantics\, that any defender of possible worlds in such a role should be equally comfortable with impossible worlds.\n\n\nHowever\, this argument for impossible worlds does not transfer straightforwardly to logically impossible worlds. So\, in the second part of the talk I will consider what we might say\, for (or against) properly logically impossible worlds.

SUMMARY:Metaphysics Seminar Jace Snodgrass (University of 58³Ô¹Ï)
DESCRIPTION:Title: Properties and Their Parts \nAbstract: I will present some very early ideas on a hyperintensional theory of properties that I am attempting to work out. I will begin my presentation by considering an unlikely area of inquiry: the mereology of material objects. I will offer a framework for thinking about two distinct types of parthood for objects. One type leads to an unstructured conception of objects; the other leads to a structured conception of objects. I will then suggest that there is a roughly analogous framework for thinking about parthood for properties. Once this framework for properties is in place\, I will turn my attention to the theory of properties\, what I call ‘the theory of property embodiment’. \nThe theory of property embodiment draws its inspiration from a theory of objects that endorses a structured conception of objects. The theory of objects that I have in mind is Kit Fine’s theory of embodiment. For what Fine has to say about objects serves as a sort of blueprint to what I would like to say about properties. Whether or not I can properly extend Fine’s theory in the way that I would like is something that I want to explore during our seminar. \n

SUMMARY:Metaphysics Seminar Anthi Solaki (University of Amsterdam)
DESCRIPTION:Title: Impossible Worlds in Dynamic Epistemic Logic \nAbstract: Epistemic Logic\, as a spinoff of normal modal logics\, suffers from the problem of logical omniscience: its agents are perfect reasoners with unlimited deductive power. We argue that\, even from a normative point of view\, this modelling is inadequate for it sets requirements that cannot be actually attained according to solid empirical evidence. We therefore design a non-standard dynamic framework\, making use of (a) impossible worlds (not closed under logical consequence)\, and (b) quantitative components capturing the agent’s cognitive capacity and the cognitive costs of inference rules with respect to certain resources (e.g. memory\, time). These ingredients allow us to avoid problematic logical closure principles and at the same time account for the agent’s bounded reasoning steps. Moreover\, such impossible-worlds models induce awareness-like structures\, contributing towards a unifying overview of the omniscience literature and the extraction of useful formal results. We finally show that this approach can be generalized in order to encompass the dynamics of higher-order reasoning\, communication\, group deliberation\, and thus do justice to multiple facets of human reasoning.
