Conference Announcement and Call for Papers
*The Limits of Warrant*
University of Waterloo,
Waterloo, Canada
May 18-20, 2001
Epistemic theories of truth analyze that concept in terms of some
notion of warranted assertibility; constructivist mathematics
understands truth in terms of provability; semantic anti-realism
conceives reality as being knowable-in-principle. On specific topics
ranging from vagueness to epistemic paradoxes to the status of
intuitionistic logic, recent years have seen a great deal of vigorous
debate over proposals to index truth and reality to human, or at least
finite, epistemic capacities. To consolidate recent research on these
debates, and to explore agendas for further progress, the Department
of Philosophy at the University of Waterloo will host a conference
focussed on topics at the intersection of metaphysics, logic and
epistemology.
*Confirmed Speakers:
Timothy Williamson Crispin Wright Roy Sorenson
Bernard Linsky William Demopoulos Paul Tomassi
David DeVidi Graham Solomon
*Conference and Registration Details
The conference will run from the afternoon of Friday May 18 to the
late afternoon of Sunday May 20, 2001. Each paper will be followed
by
a long-ish question and discussion period, to permit meaningful
audience participation. Registration details will be posted soon at
the website address below; or address questions by e-mail to Tim
Kenyon ([log in to unmask]).
*Call for Papers
The contributed component of the conference will be limited to
graduate student presentations. Papers of twenty-five minutes reading
time are solicited for blind refereeing; the deadline for receiving
papers is January 26, 2001. Further information and guidelines for
submissions are available online at:
http://arts.uwaterloo.ca/PHIL/conference/index.html
Submitted papers will also be automatically considered for publication
in an issue of _Eidos_, the graduate Philosophy journal published at
the University of Waterloo. (Contributors will be permitted to revise
and possibly expand upon the conference version before publication.)
Please pass this notice on, both to potential conference participants,
and to potential graduate student contributors.
