Deflationism on the web

I've added some references to the february 19th post on deflationism.

LSE - Discussion Papers

Arhat Virdi, PhD student at the LSE, has pointed out to me the Discussion Papers page at the LSE. Thanks.

Seminar: Relative Truth and the Language of Value

Seminar: Relative Truth and the Language of Value. Org.: Friederike Moltmann (IHPST).
"What is the semantics of evaluative sentences such as 'Walking in the park is nice'? Recently philosophers have argued that such sentences (and others, especially epistemic ones) express a proposition that needs to be further relativized to an agent or standard of evaluation in order to be true or false. In this seminar we will discuss some of the most important philosophical literature on relative truth and evaluative sentences as well as a range of linguistic data relating to it. The seminar will be a preparation for the workshop 'Meaning, Value, and Relative Truth' on June 26 ."
Session 1: June 6, 11-13, ENS, salle Langevin, 29 rue d'Ulm, 1er étage, gauche.
Relative Truth: The Intuitions and the Standard Account readings by MacFarlane, Koelbel, Lasersohn.

Multi-valued logics (2)

Sigfried Gottwald's Many-Valued Logics is another nice introduction-like paper to the topic. Usefull too are some papers by Richard Zach ( to be found on his publications page), and papers of Arnon Avron.

[see the first post (May 23rd 2006)]

Demain mardi 30 mai, de 14h a 16h, Jaakko Hintikka présentera à Philform un exposé intitulé "Non-Bayesian Epistemology".

There is also the sophisticated memoir class.

For Mac users, to manage bibliographies and BibteX files, Bibdesk is very good.

Multi-valued logics

Giovanni Panti (University of Udine Department of Mathematics and Computer Science) wrote a nice survey of the subject for the Handbook of Defensible Reasoning and Uncertainty Management Systems (D. Gabbay and P. Smets eds., Kluwer, 25-74, 1998). It's available via his papers' page:
Giovanni Panti : Multi-valued logics (General survey. Some material on the proof theoretic side is included).

Added (July 2006):
Sigfried Gottwald : Many-Valued Logics (General survey with special emphasis on t-norms and fuzzy logic. Algebraic-semantic point of view).

[For more on the the proof-theoretic side, have a look at Richard Zach's papers on the subject ( available on his publications page), and papers of Arnon Avron.]


Added (July 2006):
Walter Carnielli : Many-valued Models (32 p.)
[Contrary to the above papers, this one gives many-valued methods for independance results, and also has interest in paraconsistant logics.
It is one of the tutorials offered at the 1st World Congress and School on Universal Logic (2005) ]

Relative truth

First, a Workshop Announcement from the IHPST :"Meaning, Value, and Relative Truth", to be held on Monday, June 26, 2006 (details here). (You can also check F. Moltmann's publication page to get her "First-Person-Oriented Genericity and Relative Truth" in pdf format).

And second, the right time to note that Max Kölbel's homepage includes many papers of his, as does John MacFarlane's (well, for his papers).

Added (June 5 2006) :
Peter Lasersohn : Context Dependence, Disagreement, and Predicates of Personal Taste.
Stephenson, T. (2006) : Assessor-Sensitivity: Epistemic Modals and Predicates of Personal Taste.
A. Egan : Epistemic modals, relativism and assertion
A. Egan, J. Hawthorne, B. Weatherson : Epistemic modals in context

Added (June 18 2006):
Michael Glanzberg :Context, content and relativism.

Logic Daemon and Quizmaster

Disponible en ligne : Logic machine (Logic Daemon, quizmaster, ...).

"The Logic Machine at Texas A&M University hosts interactive logic software used for teaching introductory formal logic. The Daemon Proof Checker checks proofs and can provide hints for students attempting to construct proofs in a natural deduction system for sentential (propositional) and first-order predicate (quantifier) logic. The Quizmaster provides a variety of exercises, from questions about basic concepts such as validity, to wff construction and translation, to proofs, truth tables, and countermodels. The system and exercises are based on Logic Primer (MIT Press, 2000) but the exercises also suitable for use with other texts, such E.J. Lemmon's Beginning Logic."
