SUMMARY:Workshop: The Epistemology of Modality, Co
 logne, Germany
DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20120223
DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20120224
LOCATION:Cologne, Germany
DESCRIPTION:Modal discourse is ubiquitous in every
 day life: how things could have been different, wh
 at we might do, what the future could be. Analytic
  philosophy also concerns itself with modal discou
 rse in many ways; as an object of analysis, as a t
 ool (when a modal account is offered of apparently
  non-modal phenomena) and, more directly, when phi
 losophers argue about metaphysical modal claims. B
 ut how do we get to know the answers to the modal 
 questions? By definition, modal claims transcend t
 he way things are. In the workshop, we aim to disc
 uss and develop different answers that have been g
 iven recently to this problem.   Speakers: Jacek B
 rzozowski (Köln), Bob Hale (Sheffield), Sonia Roca
 -Royes (Stirling), Daniele Sgaravatti (Köln), Anan
 d Vaidya (San Jose), Timothy Williamson (Oxford). 
   Participation to the workshop is free, but regis
 tration is needed and there is a limited number of
  available places. For registration and inquiries 
 write to: contact at fromthearmchair.net before Ja
 nuary 10, 2012. For more information, see http://f

 ourse is ubiquitous in everyday life: how things\n
       could have been different, what we might do,

 phy also concerns itself with modal\n      discour
 se in many ways; as an object of analysis, as a to
 ol\n      (when a modal account is offered of appa

 tly, when philosophers argue about\n      metaphys
