SUMMARY:Conditionals and Conditionalization, Leuve
 n (Belgium)
DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20090904
DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20090906
LOCATION:Leuven (Belgium)
DESCRIPTION:While it strikes most as obvious that 
 there exist close conceptual connections between c
 onditionals and conditionalization, it is far less
  obvious what these connections precisely are. The
  aim of the workshop is to investigate these conne
 ctions from an interdisciplinary perspective, draw
 ing on recent work in philosophy and experimental 
 psychology. The time is ripe for such an approach,
  given that both linguists and psychologists worki
 ng on conditionals are increasingly turning to the
  probabilistic theories of conditionals that philo
 sophers have been developing over the past forty y
 ears or so. On the other hand, various philosophic
 al claims have been made about conditionals - in p
 articular concerning their semantics and pragmatic
 s - apparently on no other basis than the linguist
 ic intuitions of the philosophers making these cla
 ims. It would be interesting, and from a methodolo
 gical perspective desirable, to subject these clai
 ms to more rigorous testing, which is where experi
 mental psychologists could help (and, to some exte
 nt, have already helped).  Deadline for registrati
 ons: August 15th (no registration fee). For more i
 nformation, see: http://formalphilosophy.org/node/
