SUMMARY:Conceptual Analysis and 2-D Semantics, Col
 ogne, Germany
DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20110618
DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20110619
LOCATION:Cologne, Germany
DESCRIPTION:Conceptual analysis continues to play 
 an important role in philosophical practice, even 
 though it does not always go under this label. But
  the method is anything but undisputed. In particu
 lar, there seems to be little point in pondering o
 n our concepts if, as many believe, the meaning of
  our expressions - as well as the content of our m
 ental states - is determined by factors which are 
 external to us. Against this, it has been argued t
 hat two-dimensional semantics can provide the theo
 retical underpinnings for conceptual analysis, whi
 le reconciling it with many insights gained from a
 rguments put forth to support externalism.   The c
 onference focuses on issues surrounding conceptual
  analysis, two-dimensional semantics and their con
 nection. Some of the envisaged topics are:  - The 
 role of conceptual analysis in philosophical inqui
 ry  - The interpretation and the scope of two-dime
 nsional semantics and its bearing on conceptual an
 alysis  - Potential applications of two-dimensiona
 l semantics to metaphysics, ethics, epistemology, 
 and the philosophy of mind   For more information,
