Due to covid-19, we have had to postpone our two day Philosophical Applications of Modal Logic workshop. However, we are delighted to announce an online mini-workshop on the same theme via Zoom on Thursday 14th May. The formalism of modal logic has established itself as an enormously fruitful extension of standard propositional logic. The operators it introduces, originally interpreted to stand for necessity and possibility, can be given a range of different interpretations. Today, a great deal of specialised work is being done in modal logic, and the formalism is widely used in a number of fields, notably linguistics, computer science, and game theory. The aim of this workshop is to develop and discuss distinctly philosophical application of modal logic. The speakers are invited to report on new technical work in their talks, but place the emphasis on its motivation and application to philosophical applications rather than its mathematical interest. The workshop will be of interest to formally-minded philosophers, giving them the chance to learn about the state of the art in the use of a key device in their theoretical tool-kit. Juhani Yli-Vakkuri will speak at 11am; Johannes Stern at 12:30pm; and Melissa Fusco at 2pm (BST). If you would like to attend, please email Steph to register at [email protected]. Places are free but limited. -- Você está recebendo esta mensagem porque se inscreveu no grupo "LOGICA-L" dos Grupos do Google.
