This workshop is organized jointly by the research projects Models, Modality and Meaning (Arche, St Andrews) and Plurals, Predicates and Paradox (Oslo).
Time and place: Jun 10, 2013 - Jun 11, 2013, Oslo
As Kripke and others have taught us, the concepts of necessity, analyticity, and apriority need to be carefully distinguished. This workshop aims to investigate these notions, their analysis and legitimacy, and their connections, if any.
The workshop "Philosophy and Computation" aims to be a platform for various discussions concerning the use of computability in philosophy (for example, how computational complexity constraints can contribute to explain human understanding) and also questions concerning the philosophical investigation of computation (like questions related to Church-Turing thesis).
