Prof. Leon Horsten’s visit

On Monday, November 27 at 16:45 in room 4 of the Faculty of Philosophy, University of Warsaw, prof. Leon Horsten from the University of Konstanz will give an open lecture entitled “Truth and Finite Conjunction.” Everybody is invited.

Here is the abstract of Prof.’s speech. Horsten:

This is a critical response to Kentaro Fujimoto’s new conservativeness argument about truth, which centres around the notion of finite conjunction. We argue that Fujimoto’s arguments turn on a specific way of formalising the notions of finite collection and finite conjunction in first-order logic. In particular, by instead formalising these concepts in a natural way in set theory or in second-order logic, Fujimoto’s new conservativeness argument can be resisted.
