Logic and Metaphysics Here the schedule of the workshop
Workshop organized by Guido Imaguire and Hartry Field Logic and Metaphysics are closely related disciplines from the very beginning. They are like twin brothers: always fighting, disputing, but, deep in their souls, they like each other and come to help when the other is in trouble. After all, both share a common nature. They are very ambitious concerning scope: absolute generality. But their strategy is different: logic gets generality by topic neutrality, metaphysics by substantive all inclusiveness. Interestingly enough, for different reasons both become modest in twenty century. Logic was fragmented in a plurality of systems, and no system venture to claim to be about “everything”. Metaphysics was putted in the shadow of semantics and epistemology. But both recall their old vitality in recent development. Universal logic is the rediscovery of the logic’s destiny to generality, and metaphysics flourishes today free from any epistemic and linguistic constrains.
Call for papers Old and new questions concerning Logic and Metaphysics will be welcome topic in this workshop:
