SUMMARY:Unity Seminar: WIP Cotnoir & Schirripa ‘Vagueness & Mereology’
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Even if philosophers can’t agree on whether to locate the source of vagueness in the world\, in our language\, or in our knowledge\, we can agree that at least some ordinary mereological claims are vague. For some candidate vague object\, like Edinburgh or Mt Everest\,  we may regard some of its parts as being definitely part of it (core parts) and others as being indefinitely part of it (penumbral parts). But it would be a mistake to identify a vague object the sum of all its core parts (minimal fusion) or with the sum of all its core and penumbral parts (maximal fusion). Both the minimal and maximal fusions are precise objects (modulo concerns about higher-order vagueness) and\, by definition\, a vague fusion is not a determinate entity. Thus\, we must find an alternative approach. Among the various accounts of vagueness\, supervaluationism has received a great deal of attention\, but almost no attention has been paid to mereological theories set within a supervaluational logic. In this paper\, we provide a formal semantics for a vague mereology based on the idea of penumbral connections. We develop a model theory based on configurations of simple graphs and investigate a supervaluational modal logic for this semantics.

SUMMARY:Unity Seminar: Pre-Read – Theories of Location 2
DESCRIPTION:Correia\, Fabrice (2022). A General Theory of Location Based on the Notion of Entire Location. Journal of Philosophical Logic 51 (3):555-582. \nAbstract: It would be a good thing to have at our disposal a general theory of location that is neutral with respect to the view that some objects have more than one exact location\, the view that some objects are located without having an exact location\, and the view that some objects are “spanners”—where a spanner is an object exactly located at a region that has proper parts but which has no proper part exactly located at a proper part of the region. As far as I know\, no theory of location that can be found in the literature has this feature. I put forward a new theory that does—or so I argue. The theory takes as its sole locational primitive the notion of being entirely located at. \nhttps://philpapers.org/rec/CORAGT-2
