DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20131202

LOCATION:Geneva, Switzerland
DESCRIPTION:Playing a central role for all philoso
 phical and scientific inquiry, the notion of truth
  has always posed various puzzles to philosophers 
 and logicians. Answering questions such as what ma
 kes some things true as opposed to false or what k
 ind of things can count as true or false requires 
 a genuine understanding of the metaphysics and the
  logical behaviour of truth.   In a one-day worksh
 op on Logic and Truth, the SGSLPS suggests to look
  at some questions related to the notion of truth 
 that arise in the context of formal logic. On the 
 one hand, semantic theories of formal languages op
 erate with a rigorous definition of true sentences
  when spelling out truth conditions for statements
  in formal theories; on the other hand, the logica
 l behaviour of truth ascriptions themselves is an 
 interesting subject of study. Truth predicates beh
 ave in a peculiar way and can lead to paradoxes wh
 en treated in a classical formal manner; moreover,
  it has not been settled so far whether truth ascr
 iptions take the subject predicate form or involve
  a sentential truth operator which would resemble 
 the necessity operator well known from modal logic
 . These and similar questions will be addressed du
 ring the SGSLPS workshop.   For more information,
