11 February 2008, Logic, Language, and Reasoning Seminar, Johan van Benthem
Is logic about real human reasoning, or about the pure mathematics of valid consequence relations? Frege's famous 'anti-psychologism' drew a sharp distinction, right at a time when modern pyschology started developing exciting ideas about informal and mathematical reasoning. I will argue that such 'barrier theses' are otiose - and that, fortunately, they do not work, since there is an interesting reality of contacts between logic and empirical cognitive science. My examples come mainly from 'natural logic', while I survey some other contacts.

13 February 2008, Gloriclass Halftime Event
The Marie Curie Research Training Site GLoRiClass took up its work in February 2006. Now it's coming up to the half-way point. So we shall have a public event to mark this: the GLoRiClass Half Time Event.
On February 13, 2008, we will celebrate this event. The location, in Amsterdam, will be announced shortly.

14 February 2008, Colloquium muziekwetenschap, Michiel Schuijer
(dutch only)
Deze lezing gaat over de vraag hoeveel verschillende akkoorden denkbaar zijn in een universum van 12 tonen. Niet dat deze vraag nog op een antwoord wacht. Tussen 1850 en nu hebben onderzoekers degelijke protocollen bedacht voor het classificeren en tellen van deze akkoorden. Maar hun antwoorden lopen uiteen, afhankelijk van de intu~ties over akkoordverwantschap die eraan ten grondslag liggen.
Om die intu~ties gaat het hier - en om de beweegredenen van vooral de muzikaal bezielde onderzoekers: wat heeft een componist of harmonieleraar gemotiveerd om een volledige catalogus aan te leggen van akkoorden tot en met 12 tonen? Vanuit deze invalshoek zullen de akkoordcatalogi van Ernst Bacon (1917), Bruno Weigl (1922), Fritz Heinrich Klein (1925) en anderen bestudeerd en met elkaar vergeleken worden.

21-25 February 2008, 9th Szklarska Poreba Workshop on the Roots of Pragmasemantics, Szklarska Poreba, Poland
This is to announce the ninth installment of the workshop that takes linguists and experimental philosophers to the ski slopes. It will be held February 21-25 2008, on the mountaintop Szrenica, Poland (the same location as every year).
The workshop aims to bring together linguists, philosophers, logicians, and all others interested in the semantics and pragmatics of natural language. This year the theme is Complexity and Language - as usual this 'hot topic' should not exclude submissions on other subjects, but talks relating typical Szklarska Poreba concerns to complexity are especially welcome. We prefer new and original ideas, even if the material is not fully ripe and the presentation still tentative.
The possibility exists to hire cross-country skis, however we need to know in advance who would be interested and (crucially) how big their feet are.

26-28 February 2008, GLLC 15 : The Dynamics of Preferences and Intentions, Various Locations, Universiteit van Amsterdam
After having focused for years on issues related to knowledge, beliefs and action in rational decision making, many logicians have recently taken the natural next step to the study of preferences and intentions, including the dynamics of how they change. By doing so logic approaches other well-established areas of research, ranging from Bayesian epistemology to action, decision and game theory.
This 15th edition of the well-known series of workshops Games, Logic, Language, and Computation will bring together logicians, philosophers, computer scientists, and economists to share their expertise, find unifying themes and methods, and create a new interdisciplinary research network.
The workshop will be hosted by the Institute for Logic, Language and Computation of the Universiteit van Amsterdam, on the 26, 27 and 28 of Februay 2008. The workshop will also coincide with the PhD defenses of Fenrong Liu (Beijing) and Olivier Roy (Quebec), on February 26.
