DESCRIPTION:<p>The Analytic Philosophy Department\, University of Warsaw invites you to a talk by Daniela Vacek (Slovac Academy of Sciences &amp\; Comenius University) entitled "Towards the Semantics of Divine Names". The talk is on Thursday\, APRIL 20 at 15:00 CET (online)\, and is part of the department's biweekly seminar. Below you can find the abstract of the talk. The meeting will take place on Zoom. Please write to d.zeman@uw.edu.pl for the link.</p>\n<p>All welcome!</p>\n<p>ABSTRACT:<br>The talk focuses on the underexplored topic of the semantics of divine names (understood very broadly\, including expressions like&nbsp\;<em>God</em>\,&nbsp\;<em>Jehovah</em>\,&nbsp\;<em>Krishna</em>\,&nbsp\;<em>Hades</em>\,&nbsp\;<em>Allah</em>\, and so forth) and provides some initial insights from a religiously neutral perspective. In particular\, ideas from two works in progress (in collaborations with M. Duž&iacute\;\, M. Kosterec\, and M. Zouhar) will be presented: the first idea is that divine names are not proper names (it will be argued that this claim holds at least as a defeasible thesis\, if not also as a generally valid one)\; the second idea is that at least some divine names are necessarily empty. The latter motivates a hyperintensional semantics of divine names.</p>
