The Centre for Logic and Philosophy of Science (CLPS) of Ghent University
will host a one-day workshop:

  "Inconsistencies in Scientific Reasoning"

 Date: October 24th, 2014.

 Invited speakers: Diderik Batens, Joke Meheus, F. A. Muller, Marij van
Strien, and Peter Vickers.

 Program, abstracts and more info: http://www.philosophy.ugent.be/isr

 Attendance: free (please send an email to [email protected]
http://dev.org/null> in case you wish to attend).

The workshop aims at exploring two closely related issues. First, the
descriptive question, how frequent and how significant inconsistencies in
scientific reasoning are. This gives rise to the second question, what
normative conclusions we can draw from such historical analyses. The latter
issue concerns the methodological standards of scientific inquiry, as well
as the question whether classical logic is sufficient for the explication
of scientific reasoning, or whether specific non-classical logics are
needed to this end.

Organizers: Dunja Šešelja (Ruhr-University Bochum) and Frederik Van De
Putte (Ghent University).
