[FOM] [REMINDER] FILOMENA 3: Philosophy, Logic, Analytical Metaphysics, Natal (Brazil), 21-23 Aug 2017 - Deadline 28/04

[Sanderson Molick]

The third edition of the FILOMENA Workshop
<http://filomenaworkshop.weebly.com/> (Philosophy, Logic and Analytical
Metaphysics), promoted by the Group for Logic and Formal Philosophy from
the UFRN, Natal - Brazil, has the purpose of gathering logicians working at
the intersection of Logic and Metaphysics, through the application of
formal methods in Philosophy. Logic, a branch of Philosophy on its own, has
outgrown its original purposes and found connections with other areas of
Philosophy, such as Philosophy of Language, Philosophy of Mathematics,
Philosophy of Science and Philosophy of Mind. Logic has proved to be a
powerful tool for analyzing different philosophical theories, as well as
their foundations and implications; moreover, the birth and development of
non-classical logics has expanded its domain of application much beyond the
dreams of its progenitors.

Topics of interest for our workshop include, but are not limited  to:

   - Modal metaphysics
   - Reference and descriptions
   - Philosophical topics in non-classical logics
   - Truth-values
   - Logical consequence
   - Logical pluralism
   - Meta-ontology?
