Divulgo duas palestras do seminário permanente Lógica no Avião. Hoje e amanhã.
> Graham Priest (CUNY) > Everything and Nothing > > In this paper I will argue that everything (the totality of all objects) and > nothing > (the absence of all objects) are perfectly good objects. Each can be defined > as a > certain mereological sum (fusion). Moreover, I shall argue that nothing is a > contradictory object, which is also not an object; and further, that this > contradictory > object is, in a certain sense, the ground of reality. > > Dia: 8 de maio, 2018 > Local: Sala de Reuniões (FIL-UnB) > Horário: 18h30 - 20h > > > ============================================================================================================= > Graham Priest (CUNY) > Evans’ Argument and Vague Objects > > In 1978, Gareth Evans published a short and somewhat cryptic article > purporting to establish > that there are no vague objects. This paper is a commentary on Evan’s > argument. Prima facie, > the claim that there are no vague objects is clearly false. Mt. Everest, for > example, has no > precise boundaries. And if this is so, there must be something wrong with > Evans' argument. In > the paper I will give a model of vague objects, and so diagnose its failings. > > Dia: 9 de maio, 2018 > Local: Sala de Reuniões (FIL-UnB) > Horário: 19h00 - 20h30 -- Você está recebendo esta mensagem porque se inscreveu no grupo "LOGICA-L" dos Grupos do Google.
