  • Conceptual Engineering Seminar | Sanford Goldberg (Northwestern/58吃瓜): “Proposing non-standard concepts in epistemology: de novo construction or conceptual re-engineering?”

    A virtual seminar by Zoom The University, 58吃瓜, United Kingdom

    Abstract. 鈥� Let ‘epistemic concepts’ refer to those concepts which express the standards employed in epistemic assessment.聽聽 Such concepts offer an interesting test case for conceptual engineering.聽 On the one hand, they seem like they are tailor-made to be constructed聽de novo, answering to whichever of the varying interests we might have in epistemic evaluation.聽 On…

  • Metaphysics and Logic Seminar Franz Berto

    Title: Indicative Conditionals: Probabilities and Relevance Abstract:聽Adams鈥� Thesis claims that the acceptability of a simple indicative conditional equals聽the corresponding conditional probability. The Thesis is widely endorsed, but arguably false and refuted by empirical research. To fix it, we submit, we need a聽relevance constraint: we accept a simple conditional ‘If 蠒, then 蠄’ to the extent…

  • Conceptual Engineering Seminar | Juliette Kennedy (Helsinki): “On the feasibility of conceptual engineering in logic and (meta)mathematics: A few case studies”

    A virtual seminar by Zoom The University, 58吃瓜, United Kingdom

    Abstract. 鈥斅燩recisifications of certain informal concepts could be thought of as instances of conceptual engineering: the concept of a Turing machine (human effective computability), the notion of a Kripke structure (possibility), the Kolmogorov axioms (probability), Tarski’s definition of truth in formal languages, to name just a few. Should we聽regard聽the technical notions these formalisms define as…

  • Language and Mind Seminar | Julia Zakkou (Bielefeld)

    A virtual seminar by Zoom The University, 58吃瓜, United Kingdom

    Abstract: This paper investigates the norm of presupposition, as one pervasive type of indirect speech act. It argues against the view that sees presuppositions as an indirect counterpart of the direct speech act of assertion and proposes instead that they are much more similar to the direct speech act of assumption. More concretely, it suggests…

  • Metaphysics and Logic Seminar Barbara Vetter

    A virtual seminar by Zoom The University, 58吃瓜, United Kingdom

    Title: Essence, Potentiality, and Modality Abstract: According to essentialism, metaphysical modality is founded in the essences聽of things, where the essence of a thing is roughly akin to its real definition.聽According to potentialism (also known as dispositionalism), metaphysical聽modality is founded in the聽potentialities of things, where a potentiality is聽roughly the generalized notion of a disposition. Essentialism and…
