Propositions and Same-Saying Workshop
Macquarie University, Sydney
Monday 18 January, 2010
Propositions play a foundational role in many areas of philosophy, but
what are they? Is there a single class of things that serve as the
objects of belief, the bearers of truth, and the meanings of
utterances? How do our utterances express propositions? Under what
conditions do two speakers say the same thing, and what (if anything)
does this tell us about the nature of propositions?
This workshop, consisting of 7 talks by some of Australia's best
philosophers, will address these questions and more. It will cover
topics in philosophy of language, perception, and metaphysics.
Registration is free but places are limited, so please email Mark Jago
(mark.jago at gmail.com) if you'd like to attend. Coffee, biscuits
and cake will be provided. A picnic lunch is available at a small fee
(to cover costs) for those who RSVP.
Organized by Rachael Briggs (Centre for Time, University of Sydney),
Albert Atkin (Macquarie) and Mark Jago (Macquarie).
