[FOM] CfP: Warsaw Workshop in Truth Theories

[Bartosz Wcisło]

*Announcement and Call for Papers*

*Warsaw Workshop on Formal Truth Theories, September 28-30, 2017.*


The Warsaw Workshop on Formal Truth Theories will be held at the University
of Warsaw, Poland (Department of Logic, Institute of Philosophy) on
September 28-30, 2017.

*General Information*

The notion of truth has been a long-standing centre of attention for
logicians, philosophers and mathematicians. In particular, the logical
properties of formal theories of truth have been revealed to be relevant to
various philosophical questions, such as to discussions on deflationism,
sources of semantic paradoxes, philosophical foundations of arithmetic, and
many others. In view of this, numbers of aspects of axiomatic and semantic
theories of truth have been extensively studied from various angles.

The present Warsaw Workshop on Formal Truth Theories will contribute to the
efforts having as their purpose a deeper understanding of the concept of
truth. The aim of the meeting is to bring together researchers in logic,
philosophy and mathematics addressing a wide range of truth-related topics
in order to maintain common ground for new research, to discuss latest
results and work in progress and to simply foster cooperation of
researchers studying the notion of truth from different perspectives. The
scope of the workshop topics includes, but is not limited to:

   -

   Model-theoretic versus axiomatic approaches to truth,
   -

   Syntactic and model-theoretic (non)conservativity of axiomatic truth
   theories,
   -

   The strength of reflection principles in axiomatic theories of truth,
   -

   Properties of satisfaction classes (in particular, weakly inductive
   satisfaction classes) in models of arithmetic,
   -

   Semantic paradoxes and their solutions,
   -

   Classical and non-classical logic in truth and satisfaction theories,
   -

   The relation between formal truth theories and the philosophical
   standpoints on truth (such as deflationism, correspondence theory,
   epistemic conceptions),
   -

   The role of the notion of truth – what philosophical and practical
   purposes it serves and how these purposes are achieved in various formal
   truth theories.

We are pleased to announce the following invited speakers:

   -

   Dora Achourioti (University of Amsterdam)
   -

   Ali Enayat (University of Gothenburg)
   -

   Kentaro Fujimoto (University of Bristol)
   -

   Volker Halbach (University of Oxford)
   -

   Graham Leigh (University of Gothenburg)
   -

   Albert Visser (Utrecht University)


*Call for Papers:*

The workshop will include a session of contributed talks. Authors of
contributed papers are requested to submit abstracts in pdf format of

blind-review; in particular, the author’s name, institutional affiliation
and contact details should be specified separately in the email (not in the
abstract). Authors of the accepted papers will have 30 minutes to present
their work, including discussion.
