3 October 2018, Logic of Conceivability seminar, Catarina Dutilh Novaes
4 October 2018, DIP Colloquium, Peter Gärdenfors
5 October 2018, Cool Logic, Wouter Posdijk
Why do we combine words into sentences? And why should the meaning of these sentences be dependent on the meaning of the words that constitute it? Many ideas have been proposed for the evolution of compositionality (Franke (2016), Skyrms (2010), Steinert-Threlkeld (2016)), but these accounts all either incorporate some form of cognitive sophistication, or do not show compositionality in the sense that we want it. In addition, it is unclear whether these learning strategies can invade an already established holophrastic community.
In this talk, I try to make these Franke’s account more evolutionarily plausible by ‘setting the stage’; that is to say, I try to make the languages of holophrastically communicating agents more compositional solely through natural processes that lie outside the agent. The idea is that these natural processes emphasize the fact that sentences and their constituent words are related.
Join us for drinks and snacks in the common room afterwards!

26 October 2018, Colloquium on Mathematical Logic, Denis Saveliev
26 October 2018, Cool Logic, Davide Quadrellaro
What is Logic? Is it an art or a science? Is logic necessarily mathematical? Maybe we got it wrong, maybe logic is an empirical science. As a matter of facts, the idea that logic should not be studied mathematically, but rather considered as a part of psychology was one of the main tenets of many psychologist philosophers, like John Stuart Mill, Theodor Lipps and Christoph Sigwart. In my talk I would like to engage in a genealogical exercise and consider where our (often implicit) views on logic actually come from.
Join us for drinks and snacks in the common room after the talk.
