2 June 2022, Logic and Interactive Rationality (LIRa), Gregor Behnke

3 June 2022, Heyting Day 2022: Wittgenstein's Tractatus

Date & Time: Friday 3 June 2022, 10:00-16:30
Location: Trippenhuis KNAW, Kloveniersburgwal 29, 1011 JV Amsterdam
Costs: free (registration required)

A hundred years ago, Wittgenstein's Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus was published in English and in German. Since that time, the book has engendered enduring fascination both from professional philosophers and from interested laypersons. This interest is both due to the book's themes and to its literary style. The themes include the nature of reality, the relationship between world and language, the nature of logic, ethics, the self, the mystical.

The Tractatus gives rise to many exciting issues of interpretation. The speakers of the Heyting Day will throw light on some of these issues, especially on Wittgenstein's views on the nature of logic and on the role of the first person in the Tractatus. The day will provide ample room to reflect together about what the book has to tell us. Sure, not all can be said, but we will try to say what we can and show what we can't.

3 June 2022, Meaning, Logic, and Cognition (MLC) Seminar, Reinhard Muskens

Date & Time: Friday 3 June 2022, 16:00-16:30
Speaker: Reinhard Muskens
Title: Abucing Meaning

3 June 2022, Cool Logic, Evan Iatrou & Jan Gronwald

Date & Time: Friday 3 June 2022, 16:00-17:30
Speaker: Evan Iatrou & Jan Gronwald
Title: MoL Wars: The Academy Strikes Back
Location: Room D1.115, Science Park 904, Amsterdam

In the era of scientism, platonists have gotten used to being the laughing stock of the philosophy of mathematics community. Postulating the existence of non-spatiotemporal objects and "mystic" ways of knowing true propositions about those objects seems more like Greek mythology than possible metaphysical and epistemic truths. Among the popular alternatives to Platonism that ground mathematical ontology & epistemology to the "real" world is that of Brouwer's Intuitionism, a position grounded on our perception of time and hence, by default, spatiotemporal.

In the first ever joint event between the Cool Logic and Φ-math organisers and in the first ever Cool Logic debate, Evan will strike back against intuitionists by presenting evidence from experimental cognitive psychology that falsifies the foundation of their position and that does justice to Plato. On the opposition, Jan will defend his Master - Brouwer - by arguing that Evan's arguments are nothing but another lame excuse by platonists to live in fairyland.

Title: Who Should You Fancy? Logic for Matchmaking
Location: Room D1.111, Science Park 904, Amsterdam

Abstract:

Good, now that I've got your attention with that catchy title, let me start with a disclaimer. I'm not going to share the secret on how to find love or mend your shaky relationship in this talk. Instead, I'm going to share my ideas on how to make game-theoretic modeling of mate choice and partner matching more progressive and realistic.

Expect a fun application of hedonic games, some stimuli making you question what kind of relationship you want to be in and a lovely evening with your MoL buddies before the end of this academic year!
