1-4 September 2006, Trends in Logic IV: Studia Logica International Conference, Torun, Poland
The leading idea of Lvov-Warsaw School of Logic, philosophy and mathematics was to investigate the philosophical problems by means of rigorous methods of mathematics. Since its very first issue Studia Logica has joined forces of mathematicians and philosophers in carrying out logical investigations. There are many elaborate mathematical theories that find their origin in philosophy and have had a big impact on both philosophy and mathematics. For a couple of decades we have been witnessing the fruitful application of strictly mathematical methods to handling more and more philosophical problems.
The main goal of the conference is to present current trends in applying mathematical methods to philosophical problems.

5-8 September 2006, Prague International Colloquium 2006: Uncertainty, Prague
Uncertainty is a ubiquitous phenomenon in everyday life, but it is also a topic of fundamental significance to many scientific disciplines. Uncertainty taken here in a broad sense, has many facets - among them probability and vagueness, including possibility, confidence, fuzziness etc. These are captured by different theories which often seem to be conceptually and technically incompatible. The aim of the conference is to provide a platform for an open discussion between proponents of the main theories of uncertainty and vagueness on the market. Special attention shall be paid to the comparison of theories, analyzing differences and similarities of the respective concepts of uncertainty. Of particular interest are logical aspects and formal models of reasoning about vague information.

14-15 Septembe 2006, Workshop "Towards a New Epistemology of Mathematics", Berlin, Germany
Traditionally, there has been a deep divide between philosophy of mathematics dealing with foundational issues (questions about mathematical ontology, connections between logic and mathematics, and the proper axiomatic framework) and sociological and didactical approaches to mathematics deadling with a description of mathematical practice (including mathematics education and related matters). Currently, we witness this picture undergoing considerable changes. Recent developments question the special character of philosophy of mathematics as traditionally conceived. Our workshop is devoted to developing this line of development further, putting special emphasis on the epistemological issues involved.

18 September 2006, Workshop "Formal models for real people"
With the growth of the cognitive sciences comes an increasing interest in how we can model the cognitive and linguistic achievements of real people, in realistic contexts. There is also growing realisation that formal models can be of use here: they are formal but are not limited to modelling idealisations. In the workshop 'Formal models for real people' researchers from psychology, linguistics and philosophy will present and discuss work which showcases the applicability of formal tools to modelling non-idealised language and reasoning. Topics include, amongst others: causal reasoning, language acquisition, Theory of Mind, reasoning and autism.
No registration is required, but if you are planning to attend the workshop, we would appreciate it if you notified Marian Counihan at m.e.counihan at uva.nl. Further details including the day's programme and a route description to the venue, are available at http://oase.uci.kun.nl/~ikramer/realpeople/.

8-10 November 2006,
8th Augustus de Morgan Workshop
"Belief Revision, Belief Merging, Social Choice"
, King's College London, UK
The process of voting can be seen as the aggregation of individual preferences (i.e., that of the voters for candidates) to produce a collectively preferred alternative (the result of the election). This problem is extensively studied by social choice theory. On the other hand, belief revision investigates the dynamics of the process of belief change: when an agent is faced with new information which contradicts his/her current beliefs, he/she will have to retract some of the old beliefs in order to accommodate the new belief consistently. The main concern here is how to make a fair decision on what old beliefs to retract. There is a vaste literature on the subject. Similarly, belief merging investigates ways to aggregate a number of individual belief bases into a collective one. Here again, the aggregation procedure in belief merging faces problems similar to those addressed in voting theory and belief revision. Although there are clear connections and sharing of principles between the areas, the investigation of the similarities between the three of them is quite new. The main motivation for this workshop is to promote interaction between researchers of the areas and generate cross-fertilisation of ideas.

The Program Committee invites submissions of abstracts in the interface of the above or related areas that investigate common problems. Authors should submit an extended abstract by September, 22nd.
