invitation to a talk on `Truth and Possibility` - 10 November,4.30 PM

by Krisztina Biber

The CEU Philosophy Department cordially invites you to a talk (as part of its Departmental Colloquium series) by Jan Wolenski (Jagiellonian University)) on Truth and Possibility Tuesday, 10 November 2009, 4.30 PM, Zrinyi 14, Room 412 (there is no Colloquium scheduled for 3 November because of the University Town Hall meeting from 5.00 PM) ABSTRACT We have an obvious assertion (1) A Þ àA. If we apply T-scheme to A , it results in (2) TA Þ àA. Thus, what is true, is possibile as well. Although truth and possibility are treated here as monadic sentential (propositional) operators, a similar argument holds for predicates „is true” and „is possible”. Hence, I will use I both readings as equivalent. We can also apply T-scheme to àA and obtain (3) TA Þ T(àA). This means that truth of a sentence implies that it is true, that the sentence in question is true too. If we agree that „is true” should be interpreted as „is true In a model M”, A and àA are true in the same model. Since (1) cannot be converted to àA Þ A, àA is weaker than A. In particular, àA can be false, but A. Assume that A is consistent and false. This means, on the base of Gödel-Malcev completeness theorem, that it has a model in which is true. On the other hand, this model must be different than the model in which A is true. Denote this model by M’. Semantics of possibile worlds has no problem with that. It is enough to distinguish a model M* as the actual world and say that other are accessible from it. Thus, A can be false in M*, but true in M’. This, however, contradicts our earlier assumption that A and àA are true in the same model. Logically speaking, introducing M* and M does not matter, because models are abstract algebraic structures. The situation changes when we pass to ontology, because the basic intuition points out that the actual world exists in the fundamental sense, but other merely subsists. What can we do in order to resolve the issue? One way is to take a Platonic stance and treat all possible worlds as abstract objects. This is at odds with ordinary intuitions. Thus, we should find a solution respecting that M* is distinguished not only for logical, but also for ontological reasons. Possible worlds as logical constructs can be identified with models of maximally consistent sets of propositions. On this level, M* can be arbitrarily chosen. If we add the ontological factor, M* becomes a representation of the world in which we live. This open a possibility for naturalism.

segítség a PsyScope használathoz

by Éva Mészáros

Kedves Mindenki! Szeretnék segítséget kérni a Psyscope használattal kapcsolatban. Egy grammatikalitás megítélési kísérletet akarunk csinálni, de problémáink akadtak a program tervezéssel. A legföbb gondunk, hogy bizonyos ablakokba (pl. milyen kísérleti mondat jelenjen meg a képernyőn) nem lehet beírni semmit. Ha valaki már használta ezt a programot, kérem segítsen!

contest: how to combine logics?

by Universal Logic

How to combine logics? This will be the contest for the universal logic 2010 price offered by Birkhäuser at the World Congress on Universal Logic III Lisbon, Portugal, April 22-25, 2010 http://www.uni-log.org When we have two logics, we may want to put them together. For example on the one hand we have a temporal logic and on the other hand we have a deontic logic, how then to put them together to produce a temporal deontic logic in which we can deal with sentences such as "Sometimes it is allowed to eat chocolate"? This is a very interesting question in the engineering of logic. People have been working in the subject since about 15 years. But there are still some fundamental problems not completely solved. These problems are connected to the very nature of what a logical system is. One may wonder if the intuitive definition of combination of logic as the smallest conservative extension of two given logics really works, and also if it is always possible to combine two logics. If you want to take part to this contest send a short paper (10 to 15 pages) to unilog2010(a)gmail.com before November 15th, 2009. The best ones will be selected for presentation at a special session during the congress and a jury will then decide who the winner is.

BBS: Call for Commentary Proposals, Henrich et al.

by Behavioral and Brain Sciences

Dear Dr. Qwerty: Today we are pleased to announce that Editorial Manager (EM) will process BBS Call for Commentary Proposal submissions. Henrich et al. is the first target article to be accepted within our new EM system. When a target article or recent book has been accepted for BBS Commentary, the editorial office sends out the Call for Commentary Proposals to thousands of people. Commentary Proposals help the BBS Editors craft a well-balanced commentary invitation list. If this target article interests you as a possible subject for commentary, please download the full pre-print to see if you would like to propose a commentary. If you are interested please follow the instructions below the target article information. Please keep in mind that we are not asking you to submit a commentary -- but rather, a short proposal in order to be considered as an invited author after the proposal deadline. Please also be aware that we typically get far more proposals than we can accept. NOW ACCEPTING COMMENTARY PROPOSALS ON: Target Article: "The Weirdest People in the World?" Authors: Joseph Henrich, Steven J. Heine and Ara Norenzayan Deadline for proposals: November 19, 2009 Abstract (short): Broad claims about human psychology and behavior based on narrow samples from Western, Educated, Industrialized, Rich and Democratic (WEIRD) societies are regularly published in leading journals. Are such species-generalizing claims justified? This review suggests not only that substantial variability in experimental results emerges across populations in basic domains, but that WEIRD subjects are in fact rather unusual compared with the rest of the species-frequent outliers. The domains reviewed include visual perception, fairness, categorization, spatial cognition, memory, moral reasoning and self-concepts. This review (1) indicates caution in addressing questions of human nature based on this thin slice of humanity, and (2) suggests that understanding human psychology will require tapping broader subject pools. We close by proposing ways to address these challenges. Keywords: external validity, population variability, experiments, cross-cultural research, culture, human universals, generalizability, evolutionary psychology, cultural psychology, behavioral economics. Download target article pre-print: http://journals.cambridge.org/BBSJournal/Call/Henrich_Preprint COMMENTARY PROPOSALS MUST INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING 1. What aspect of the target article or book you would anticipate commenting upon. 2. The relevant expertise you would bring to bear on the target article or book. Please include names and affiliations of your co-authors if applicable. SUGGESTING COMMENTATORS AND NOMINATING BBS ASSOCIATES Commentators must be BBS Associates, or suggested by a BBS Associate.

Approve Your Submission Editorial Manager will process your Commentary Proposal submission and will create a PDF for your approval.

Once you have Approved the Submission, the PDF will be sent to the editorial office. **It is VERY important that you check the and approve your Commentary Proposal manuscript as described above. Otherwise, we cannot process your submission.** Note: If you have designated a different Corresponding Author, only the new Corresponding Author will have access to the PDF and must log-in to the system in order to approve the PDF. 8. Editorial Office Decision At the conclusion of the Commentary Proposal period, the editors will review all the submitted Commentary Proposals. An undetermined number of Commentary Proposals will be approved and those author names will be added to the final commentary invitation list. At that time you will be notified of the decision. If you are formally invited to submit a commentary, you will be asked to confirm your intention to submit by the commentary deadline. Note: Before the commentary invitations are sent, the copy-edited and revised target article will be posted for invitees. In the case of Multiple Book Review, invitees will be sent a copy of the book to be commented upon if requested. With Multiple Book Reviews, it is the book, not the Précis article that is the target of commentary. Please do not write a commentary unless you have received an official invitation! SPECIAL NOTE Since this is our first year on Editorial Manager, we would like your feedback regarding how the process could be improved. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
