SUMMARY:"Logic of change, change of logic", Prague
 , Czech Republic
DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20080910
DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20080914
LOCATION:Prague, Czech Republic
DESCRIPTION:Tools from logic and mathematics have 
 played a central role in models of human beliefs, 
 of human desires and preferences and indeed the ac
 tions which are based on them. However, beliefs, p
 references and perhaps even desires change. Thus t
 he development, which has been greatly accelerated
  in recent times, of extensions of the logical and
  mathematical techniques to account for the proble
 ms of change. However, as different paradigms (AGM
  theory and dynamic logic in the 'logic' camp, Bay
 esian update and Jeffrey conditionalisation in the
  probability camp, to take just a few examples of 
 theories of belief change) jostle to impose themse
 lves, it is perhaps the moment to take a step back
  and ask: what do we want from a theory of change?
    This question-as philosophical and methodologic
 al as it is technical-is at the heart of this coll
 oquium / workshop. The aim is to bring together sp
 ecialists working on the problem of attitude chang
 e, from a wide range of paradigms, to present and 
 discuss their views on the objectives of theories 
 of change. The ambition is to identify the main is
 sues for theories of change, and clarify the major
  positions one could hold concerning the project o
 f understanding or modelling attitude change.   Fo
 r more information, see the conference website at 
 http://www.flu.cas.cz/colloquium or contact colloq
 uium at flu.cas.cz.   Philosophical and methodolog
 ical contributions, and technical contributions wi
 th methodological or philosophical reflections are
  welcome. Deadline for submissions (extended): 15 
 May 2008.
