First Call for Abstracts

Logic and Language Conference

Friday 24th September - Sunday 26th September, 2010
University of Aberdeen, Northern Institute of Philosophy

The 2010 Logic and Language Conference is the first of a series of conferences co-organized by the Northern Institute of Philosophy at the University of Aberdeen, and by the Centre for Logic and Language of the Institute of Philosophy at the School of Advanced Study, University of London. Staged every two years, alternating location between Aberdeen and London, this workshop aims at resurrecting the traditional UK Logic and Language conference series and at becoming a prominent feature in the British philosophical calendar. The Conference is meant primarily as a showcase for young philosophers to present and discuss their best work, but will host keynote speakers as well. For this first edition, the topic for the invited contributions is "Fiction and Fictionalism". However, submissions are welcome in any areas of Philosophical Logic broadly conceived, Philosophy of Language, and the interface between Linguistics and Philosophy.
Invited speakers

* JC Beall (University of Connecticut)
* Manuel Garcia-Carpintero (University of Barcelona/Logos)
* Graham Priest (University of Melbourne and CUNY Graduate Centre)
