The Philosophy Department at the University of Connecticut in partnership with the Pluralisms Global Research Network funded by the National Research Foundation of Korea is delighted to announce a conference on Truth Pluralism and Logical Pluralism\, to be held from April 17-19\, 2015\, at the University of Connecticut\, Storrs.
What does a mean for a sentence or proposition to be true? Can there be more than one way for something to be true? What does it mean for a logic to be "correct"\, and can there be multiple equally correct logics? This conference is aimed at exploring issues in pluralisms about truth and logic and their rival theories\, as well as the connections between them.
Currently confirmed participants include:
Dorit Bar-On (UConn)
Roy T. Cook (Minnesota)
