SUBSTRUCTURAL APPROACHES TO PARADOX\, Barcelona \;25&ndash\;26 November 2013

Organisers: Elia Zardini\, José\; Martí\;nez (LOGOS\, University of Barcelona)

---

TOPIC

Recent years have witnessed a burgeoning interest in the application of substructural logics as a \;crucial component of philosophically motivated solutions to traditionally intractable paradoxes like \;the semantic paradoxes and the paradoxes of vagueness. Such solutions have proved to offer new \;valuable insights into those paradoxes\, complementing those provided by more &ldquo\;traditional&rdquo\; non-substructural solutions that also revise classical logic. The workshop proposes to take stock of the \;current trends in this thriving area of philosophy of logic.
