LOCATION:Tartu, Estonia
DESCRIPTION:The Summer School "Formal Methods in P
 hilosophy and Linguistics" is a two week research 
 training course in formal methods and their use in
  philosophy and linguistics for PhD students in th
 e respective fields. The courses cover classical l
 ogic and its meta-theory, developments in modal an
 d non-classical logic, as well as historical aspec
 ts in the philosophy of logic since Frege. Mathema
 tical models that had a wider impact on philosophi
 cal model building, like probability theory and ga
 me theory, are also taken into account. The course
 s also introduce systematically formal semantics a
 s it is studied by philosophers and linguists.   A
 fter a three day recapitulation of the standard te
 chnical vocabulary and some of the central metalog
 ical results, a philosophy of language/ linguistic
 s branch will take a closer look at the use of for
 mal methods in specific problem areas and at speci
 fic formal theories. This will be paralleled by co
 urses for philosophers working in areas other than
  philosophy of language and linguistics, offering 
 closer examinations of applications of formal meth
 ods in the philosophy of science, mind, and action
 . The courses are designed for graduate students o
 f philosophy and linguistics who lack a background
  in mathematics but work in a field that requires 
 the assessment of formal methods or results obtain
 ed by such methods.   Student applications will be
  accepted until June 15, 2007. We will accept 30 s
 tudents in total. For more information, see http:/
