Details

This is a one-day workshop dedicated to the theory of the Thin Red Line in the semantics for future contingents. This theory holds that one of the histories (or 'branches') in a branching-time model for temporal-modal languages should be formally distinguished as the 'actual' course of events. This controversial view has been strongly criticised in the recent literature, with both logical/semantic as well as metaphysical objections raised. This workshop is dedicated to investigating the strengths and weakness of these objections, and of the fundamental viability or otherwise of the Thin Red Line theory.
