Functions and functional roles of words/concepts, University of Lisbon 28-30 May 2025


The LanCog group at the Centre of Philosophy of the University of Lisbon (CFUL) welcomes anyone interested to participate at a workshop gathering philosophers interested in non-representational semantic theories (like inferentialism) and non-representational functions of concepts.  

The latter have been proposed by Ramsey (universal quantifications as inference tickets), Sellars (on counterfactuals), Hare (on normative terms), Quine (on the truth-predicate), and many others, and has attracted renewed attention with Amie Thomasson's recent work on "linguistic functions".
