22 - 24 May 2024, Symposium "Engaging Rationality Today", Lille, France
The international symposium "Engaging Rationality Today" will bring together specialists from multiple disciplines (philosophy, logic, psychology, anthropology, linguistics, etc.) to reflect collectively on contemporary meanings and uses of rationality. The current Western cultural context, which is marked by numerous challenges (war, fake news, A.I., populism) and critiques (post-colonialism, feminism, etc.), requires a reevalutation of the classic notion of rationality. They show the limits of the classical notion, grounded on concepts like objectivity, universality, argumentation, and causal relationships. But accepting every new conception without criteria seems to give way to relativism, thus leading to a dilemma. The symposium "Engaging Rationality Today" aims at tackling this dilemma by creating a space of dialogue between various conceptions of rationality. To do so, it is not only a question of examing what rationality is, but also, and above all, a question of studying the limits, blindspots, and problematic uses of the proposed definitions of rationality. The aim of the present project is to provide a comprehensive view of how rationality is currently understood, from various perspectives (philosophy, psychology, linguistics, etc.). We hope that by examining rationality’s multifaceted aspects, including what falls outside of the proposed definitions, contributors will be encouraged to reevalute their own defninitions through dialogue with others.
True to our multidisciplinary goals, we invite a broad variety of approaches and methods and welcome researchers from any background. If you would like to present, please submit an anomymous abstract (max.of 800 words) in a pdf format. In your application, please mention in which session (or sessions) your contribution would be most appropriate.
To help make each conception of rationality clearer and to facilitate the comparison between conceptions, we ask that each contribution spell out what the author takes rationality to be, to not be, and what remains under-determined. In addition, contributions can (but do not have to) address one of the following pairs of guiding questions. They can also challenge the implied validity of these oppositions: What does rationality involve? What does it rule out? How do we recognize it? What could rationality also be? What are its applications and uses? What are its misapplications and misuses? Does it affect us? Can we resist it? What does it allow us to do? What does it keep us from doing? Does it have diverse articulations? Or, for it to be rationality, must it always be exactly the same?
8 January 2024, Workshop on Directions and Perspectives in the Lambda-Calculus, Bologna, Italy
The concept of computation is interesting in philosophy, mathematics, and of course computer science. The λ-calculus is certainly one of the main tools for studying this concept: after almost 100 years, why are we still working on this formalism (or related subjects)? And where are we going? What are the scientific or philosophical challenges that λ-calculus has proposed? What are the ones that it may propose in the future?
The aim of the workshop is to gather mostly young (possibly non permanent) researchers together in order to address the above mentioned questions. The style will not necessarily be of a technical nature, but rather of overview and conceptual one.

CfP: Special issue of Australasian Journal of Logic (AJL) on the work of Ross Brady
We are delighted to announce a special issue of the Australasian Journal of Logic (AJL) dedicated to celebrating the remarkable contributions of Ross Brady. Ross's work has made significant advancements in various areas of logic, both technically and philosophically. This special issue aims to honor his invaluable contributions and provide a platform for scholars to engage with his work.
We invite submissions on topics related to Ross Brady's research interests. We also welcome submissions that explore related areas, recent research, and extensions of Ross Brady's work. Particularly, we encourage contributions focusing on the logic MC of meaning containment and its applications, as well as investigations into metavaluations and metacompleteness.
11 - 13 April 2024, Foundations of Mathematics, Truth, and Implicit Commitments (FOMTIC), Warsaw, Poland
In recent years, the notion of implicit commitments has received new attention in the Philosophy of Mathematics. Focusing on theories of foundational interest, in which substantial parts of mathematics can be reconstructed, philosophers, mathematicians, and logicians have been trying to determine the extent of the commitments (if there are any) implicit in foundational theories. This investigation started in the 60s with the work of Solomon Feferman and others on the so-called' reflection principles', statements expressing, for a given theory S, that S is sound. Famously, Feferman investigated whether, for a foundational theory S, such reflection principles are implicit commitments of S. Since the 60s, Feferman's investigation generated an enormous amount of literature and research programmes. Although much progress has been made in our understanding of implicit commitments, much work is still needed.
Our conference aims to provide a platform to gather philosophers, mathematicians, and logicians working on implicit commitments and related notions in the context of philosophy and the foundation of mathematics.
We invite submission of extended abstracts (up to 1000 words, prepared for blind review) for contributed talks. Please submit your abstract by email to the organisers at fomtic24 at gmail.com, and include your institutional affiliation, if you have one, and the title of your abstract in the body of the email. Submissions from underrepresented groups are particularly welcome.

16 - 18 May 2024, Formal Methods and Science in Philosophy V, Dubrovnik, Croatia
The general subject of the conference are problems of philosophical ontology, epistemology, philosophy of science, and philosophy of mind that are formulated or solved using formal methods (as defined in logic, mathematics, formal linguistics, theoretical computer science, information science, AI) and/or with references to the results of natural and social sciences.
The following special topics will be addressed:
– use of formal methods in philosophy,
– philosophical analysis of scientific notions (natural law, matter, change, cause, chance, time, space, uncertainty, quantum phenomena, probability, social interaction, etc.),
– philosophical analysis of scientific methods (formalisms, rationality, values, norms, etc.),
– the role and use of scientific notions and methods in philosophy (formal systems in philosophy, critical analysis, systematic philosophy, etc.).
There will be a PhD student session with 20 minutes talks followed by 10 minutes discussion.
Please, submit a 1200 characters abstract by January 31, 2024 to abrozek at uw.edu.pl, k.swietorzecka at uksw.edu.pl or skovac at ifzg.hr. Please, use the proposed templates.
