Hi
For the next two sessions (6 November and 13 November), the Logic Seminar will be reading: "Ideas and Results in Model Theory: Reference, Realism, Structure and Categoricity" (draft, by Tim Button and Sean Walsh) A pdf can be obtained from http://www.nottub.com/button-walsh-phil-model-theory-oct-2014.pdf I will introduce the paper in both sessions. The plan is as follows: On Thursday 6, we will go through §§1-4. The main themes of this are Putnam's model-theoretic arguments and Newman's objection. This is likely to be of interest to Part II students doing metaphysics, mathematical logic, and philosophical logic. It may also be of some interest to Part IB students doing philosophy of science. On Thursday 13, we will go through §§5-9. The main themes here concern categoricity results and versions of mathematical structuralism. This is likely to be of interest to Part II students doing mathematical logic and philosophical logic. All the best, Tim _____________________________________________________ To unsubscribe from the CamPhilEvents mailing list, or change your membership options, please visit the list information page: http://bit.ly/CamPhilEvents List archive: http://bit.ly/CamPhilEventsArchive Please note that CamPhilEvents doesn't accept email attachments.
