Super Special Seminar Walter Dean (Warwick) The liar and the sorites: towards a uniform arithmetical treatment
Abstract: The unification of the paradoxes of truth and vagueness has been a topic of recurrent philosophical interest (e.g. McGee 1989/1990, Tappenden 1993, Field 2003/2008, Priest 1994/2010). I will present a sequence of observations which illustrate how the liar and sorites paradoxes are formally related, culminating in the observation that both give rise to similar…
Language and Mind Seminar: Talk by Ethan Landes: “Polysemy”
Abstract: Classic cases of homonyms are uncontroversial: 鈥渂ank鈥� can mean a financial institution or the side of a river. However, when we look at either of these meanings with more resolution, the story gets blurry. 鈥淏ank鈥� can refer to the building keeping money or the corporate institution that owns the building. In this talk, I…
Conceptual Engineering Seminar: Talk by Clotilde Torregrossa on “Experimental Aesthetics and Conceptual Engineering”
Abstract Experimental Philosophy (X-Phi) is now a fully-fledged methodological project with applications in almost all areas of analytic philosophy, including, as of recently, aesthetics. Another methodological project which has been attracting attention in the last few years is conceptual engineering (CE). Its areas of implementation are now diverse, but as was the case initially with…

Super Special Seminar Walter Dean (Warwick) On consistency and existence in mathematics
Abstract:聽 Following the publication of his Foundations of Geometry聽in 1899, David Hilbert engaged in a well-known debate with Frege which concerned (amongst other things) the question of whether the consistency of a set of axioms entails the existence of a model in which they are satisfied.聽 聽I will consider this dimension of the so-called Frege-Hilbert…
