SUMMARY:Contexts, Perspectives, and Relative Truth
 , Bonn, Germany
DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20110609
DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20110611
LOCATION:Bonn, Germany
DESCRIPTION:Surely, we might have different opinio
 ns about whether or not it is fun to ride a roller
  coaster. But can they both be true? And are we re
 ally disagreeing in case they are?   Relativists t
 ypically tend to answer both questions in the affi
 rmative. As innocent as this position may seem at 
 first sight, it certainly involves some rather dra
 matic changes in the way philosophers usually thin
 k about formal semantics. Then again, these change
 s seem to offer elegant solutions to further probl
 ems besetting semantics, such as the assessment of
  future contingents, the variability of knowledge 
 ascriptions and the correct analysis of epistemic 
 modals. The conference will be concerned with diff
 erent relativist proposals, with its consequences,
  and with possible alternative analyses of the phe
 nomena motivating relativism.   The conference is 
 part of the Rhine Valley Philosophy Summer 2011, a
  series of independently organized philosophical e
 vents. See http://rvps2011.net/ for further inform
 ation.     For more information, see http://rvps20
