Event description

Might reality itself be indeterminate? And if so\, how can we coherently theorise about it? This conference seeks to bring together researchers interested in this emerging topic and be an occasion to widen and deepen the debate around it. To reflect the interdisciplinary interest in this topic\, the conference will feature contributions from traditional metaphysics\, social metaphysics\, and science-informed metaphysics.
