SUMMARY:Metaphysics and Logic Seminar: Mark Jago (Nottingham) “Tracking Conjunctions”
DESCRIPTION:Though faced with Kripke’s clear knock-down objection\,\nDon’t be too quick with tracking-the-truth rejection.\nOK\, one knows a red barn for its hue\,\nYet knows it not as a barn\, though it be true.\nThat may be so and yet we know some facts\,\nDespite the chance we’re all just brains in vats.\nAnd tracking shows where closure fails to hold\,\nSo that the skeptic’s doubts can be controlled.\nI’ll claim that knowledge as Nozick once defined\,\nBy Kit’s truthmaker semantics is refined.\nFor Fine’s fine-grained approach defines conjunction\,\nThat we may track the truth without compunction.\nSo faced with skeptical scenarios\,\nReply with Fine\, Nozick\, and Yablo.

SUMMARY:Metaphysics and Logic Seminar: Christopher J. Masterman (58�Թ�)
DESCRIPTION:Title: Saying Something with Nothing\nAbstract: Ontological nihilism is the view that fundamentally there are no objects. Whilst it is an increasingly popular view\, nihilists face a so-called expressive adequacy challenge. Standard natural and formal languages carve up the world into at least objects and properties/relations satisfied by those objects. But the nihilist doesn’t think there are any objects! How\, then\, are they to express themselves? The dominant approach is modelled on natural language feature-placing sentences. Just as I can commit to “It is raining” without thinking that any one particular thing is raining\, nihilists develop sophisticated feature-placing languages to talk about how the world is a certain way without committing to there being any particular thing which is that way. I raise some issues for this approach and argue that the expressive adequacy challenge for nihilism is much harder to solve than people have recognised. I then suggest a general diagnosis of what goes wrong for the nihilist. In brief\, I argue that there are two different underlying conceptions of nihilism which are mistakenly run together and only one of these leads to problems of expressive adequacy. To end\, I sketch one way of developing the less-discussed conception of nihilism in response to the expressive adequacy worry.
