MCMP – EpistemologyReasoning biases and non-monotonic logicsCatarina Dutilh Novaes (Groningen) gives a talk at the MCMP Colloquium (24 January, 2013) titled "Reasoning biases and non-monotonic logics". Abstract: Stenning and van Lambalgen (2008) have argued that much of what is described in the psychology of reasoning literature as `reasoning biases' can more accurately be accounted for by means of the concept of defeasible, non-monotonic reasoning. They rely on the AI framework of closed-world reasoning as the formal background for their investigations. In my talk, I give continuation to the project of reassessing reasoning biases from a non-monotonic point of view, but use instead the semantic approach to non-monotonic logics presented...2019-04-1900 minMCMP – Ethics and Value TheoryBeing a woman in (mathematical) philosophyCatarina Dutilh Novaes (Groningen) gives a talk at the MCMP Colloquium (15 May, 2013) titled "Being a woman in (mathematical) philosophy". Abstract: Why are there so few women in philosophy, and in technical areas such as mathematical philosophy in particular? Philosophy has the worst gender balance of all fields in the humanities, at around 16%-25% worldwide. The presence of women in philosophy is comparable to engineering and physics; it is worse than in mathematics. Is this a problem? And if it is, what can be done about it? What is it like, being a woman in (mathematical) philosophy? In my talk, I...2019-04-181h 28MCMP – LogicA Dialogical Analysis of Structural RulesCatarina Dutilh Novaes (Groningen) gives a talk at the MCMP Colloquium (22 January, 2015) titled "A dialogical analysis of structural rules". Abstract: Recently, a number of substructural approaches to the semantic paradoxes have been proposed, which identify one or another structural rule as the ‘culprit’ giving rise to paradox. This is often taken to be sufficient motivation to restrict or altogether ban the rule in question. However, it seems that independent, i.e. not paradox-related, motivations would be required for such restrictions to be truly convincing. In other words, we need independent arguments on what is wrong with this or that structural rule...2015-02-1000 minMCMP – LogicTwo conceptions of formalization: Carnapian explication, and formalisms as cognitive toolsCatarina Dutilh Novaes (Groningen) gives a talk at the MCMP workshop "Carnap on Logic" (3-6 July, 2013) titled "Two conceptions of formalization: Carnapian explication, and formalisms as cognitive tools".2013-11-0200 min
