Epistemic Aspects of Many-valued Logic
Prague International Colloquium
September 13-16, 2010
Institute of Philosophy, Prague, Czech Republic
The role of the probability calculus and its generalizations in providing a formal framework for addressing traditional epistemological probabilities is well established. The aim of the colloquium was to explore the role of other calculi of uncertainty in epistemology - in particular those based on many-valued logics. Topics to be covered included • the epistemological uses of uncertainty calculi • epistemological interpretations of many-valued logics • foundations of fuzzy logics and probability • counterparts (if any) of conditionalization in fuzzy frameworks • learning in fuzzy logics, conditionalization in probability and in fuzzy logics, calibration in probability and fuzzy logics • vagueness as a linguistic and as an epistemic concepts Invited speakers were Colin Howson, Peter Milne, Nick Smith and Timothy Williamson. |
