22 - 23 August 2022, Workshop on "Truthmaking, Semantical Grounding, & Paradoxes", Bristol, England
The ERC-Starting Grant Truth and Semantics (TRUST 803684) at the University of Bristol, together with dr. Johannes Korbmacher (University of Utrecht), is organizing a two-day workshop on truthmaking, semantical grounding, and paradoxes. The workshop will be held in person in Bristol (UK) on August 22-23, 2022.
The aim of the conference is twofold. On the one hand, we would like to investigate the role that various forms of truthmaking semantics and semantical grounding can have in diagnosing the problematic nature of paradoxes (including, but not limited to, semantic paradoxes, paradoxes of vagueness, paradoxes of conditionalsâ¦), and how they can be used to generate possible solutions to them; and, on the other hand, we would like to study paradoxes of truthmaking or paradoxes of semantic grounding.
We would like to invite the submission of abstracts for several further talks on the conference's themes. There are several slots for submitted contributions of 45-60min. If you are interested in giving a talk, please send an abstract of no more than 2000 words to Simone Picenni and Johannes Korbmacher. Since the main purpose of the workshop is to exchange results, we welcome not only papers covering unpublished results, but also previous publications that fall within the scope of the workshop. We especially encourage submissions from early career researchers (postgraduate students/PhD students/Post-Docs).
