Can truth be defined? Frege argued that it couldn't. Ramsey argued that defining it would be easy if only we had an analysis of judgement. Today Horwich claims that truth cannot be defined explicitly because doing so would require quantification into sentence position and such quantification is not coherent. Instead he proposes a “minimal theory” of truth, which comprises all the unproblematic instances of the equivalence schema. Künne, by contrast, argues that quantification into sentence position is coherent and may actually be part of some natural languages. Künne uses such quantification to define truth explicitly: ∀x (x is true iff ∃p ((x is the proposition that p) & p)). Or in English: a representation (belief, assertion etc) is true just if things are as it represents them as being.

Is truth definable? Is propositional quantification coherent? Do natural languages involve propositional quantification, and in what sense? What do the answers to these questions mean for philosophical attempts to define or explain truth? Is truth redundant if explicitly definable? Not redundant if not explicitly definable? We are interested in these and related questions (broadly conceived).

Confirmed speakers are: Peter Fritz (Australian Catholic University), Paul Horwich (New York University), Wolfgang Künne (University of Hamburg), Poppy Mankowitz (University of Bristol)  and Cheryl Misak (University of Toronto).

The MoH conferences are organized by the Society for the History of the Humanities and bring together scholars and historians interested in the history of a wide variety of fields, including archaeology, art history, historiography, linguistics, literary studies, media studies, musicology, and philology, tracing these fields from their earliest developments to the modern day.

This year’s special conference theme is "Shifting Cultures of Knowledge in the History of the Humanities". In 2024, we encourage papers that address the history of the humanities in relation to broader, multidisciplinary studies on knowledge and scholarship. 

The Centre for Logic and Philosophy of Science (CLPS) of the Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB) will host its 6th Masterclass in the Philosophy of Mathematical Practices on June 24–26, 2024  with Catarina Dutilh Novaes (VU Amsterdam). We intend the masterclass to be a fully interactive in person event, with the twofold objective to understand in depth the materials presented in the lectures, and to provide early career researchers (PhD students and Postdocs) with an opportunity to discuss their ongoing work in a helpful and constructive environment. 

FACS 2024 is concerned with how formal methods can be applied to component- based software and system development. Formal methods have provided foundations for component-based software through research on mathematical models for components, composition and adaptation, and rigorous approaches to verification, deployment, testing, and certification. The conference seeks to address the applications of formal methods in all aspects of software components and services. FACS aims at developing a community-based understanding of relevant and emerging research problems through formal paper presentations and lively discussions.

Invited speakers: Ana Cavalcanti (University of York, UK), David Parker (University of Oxford, UK) and Geguang Pu (ECNU, China). FACS 2024 is co-located with the 26th international symposium on formal methods (FM 2024).

Twenty years after the publication of Ehrhard and Regnier’s first seminal paper on the subject, we are delighted to announce a conference on Differential λ-calculus and Differential Linear Logic, nicknamed DiλLL 2024. The programme will consist in a series of invited talks, a good proportion of which will be tutorials, targeted at young researchers as well as non-specialists. It will also include surveys of the main advances obtained in the course of twenty years, as well as research talks on current topics. For young researchers, it will also be possible to display posters in the premises of the conference during the whole week, in order to foster discussion around your work.

The general subject of the conference are problems of philosophical ontology, epistemology, philosophy of science, and philosophy of mind that are formulated or solved using formal methods (as defined in logic, mathematics, formal linguistics, theoretical computer science, information science, AI) and/or with references to the results of natural and social sciences.

The following special topics will be addressed:
– use of formal methods in philosophy,
– philosophical analysis of scientific notions (natural law, matter, change, cause, chance, time, space, uncertainty, quantum phenomena, probability, social interaction, etc.),
– philosophical analysis of scientific methods (formalisms, rationality, values, norms, etc.),
– the role and use of scientific notions and methods in philosophy (formal systems in philosophy, critical analysis, systematic philosophy, etc.).

There will be a PhD student session with 20 minutes talks followed by 10 minutes discussion.

SAGT brings together researchers from Computer Science, Economics, Mathematics, Operations Research, Psychology, Physics, and Biology to present and discuss original research at the intersection of Algorithms and Game Theory. The program of SAGT 2024 will include a tutorial day, invited lectures and presentations of peer-reviewed submissions. 

The international symposium "Engaging Rationality Today" will bring together specialists from multiple disciplines (philosophy, logic, psychology, anthropology, linguistics, etc.) to reflect collectively on contemporary meanings and uses of rationality. The current Western cultural context, which is marked by numerous challenges (war, fake news, A.I., populism) and critiques (post-colonialism, feminism, etc.), requires a reevalutation of the classic notion of rationality. They show the limits of the classical notion, grounded on concepts like objectivity, universality, argumentation, and causal relationships. But accepting every new conception without criteria seems to give way to relativism, thus leading to a dilemma. The symposium "Engaging Rationality Today" aims at tackling this dilemma by creating a space of dialogue between various conceptions of rationality. To do so, it is not only a question of examing what rationality is, but also, and above all, a question of studying the limits, blindspots, and problematic uses of the proposed definitions of rationality. The aim of the present project is to provide a comprehensive view of how rationality is currently understood, from various perspectives (philosophy, psychology, linguistics, etc.). We hope that by examining rationality’s multifaceted aspects, including what falls outside of the proposed definitions, contributors will be encouraged to reevalute their own defninitions through dialogue with others.

The theme of the workshop is "Agency and intentionality: collective and individual". Collective intentionality and collective agency, and closely related topics such as common knowledge, team reasoning, public announcement and other forms of group communication, are among the key issues that are being studied right now in a variety of frameworks.

Some of these frameworks are parsimonious extensions of frameworks for individual agency and individual intentionality, whereas others employ a more extended conceptual and ontological apparatus. And some of the analyses are primarily analytical and conceptual, while others are logical and formal. The main goal of the workshop is to bring these together to exchange results and discuss different views.

Invited speakers: Branden Fitelson (Northeastern University), Marc Slors (Radboud University Nijmegen), Sonja Smets (University of Amsterdam) and Deborah Tollefsen (The University of Memphis).

TrentoLogue will be the 28th edition of the SemDial workshop series  which aim to bring together researchers working on the semantics and  pragmatics of dialogue in fields such as formal semantics and  pragmatics, computational linguistics, artificial intelligence,  philosophy, psychology, and neuroscience.

Keynote speakers: Uri Hasson, Princeton University Azzurra Ruggeri, Max Planck Institute Bernardo Magnini, Fondazone Bruno Kessler  (FBK).

Logical and semantic frameworks are formal languages used to represent logics, languages and systems. These frameworks provide foundations for the for mal specification of systems and computational languages, supporting tool development and reasoning.
