Details
There has recently been a growing interest in truthmaker semantics as an alternative to the standard possible-worlds approach in philosophical and formal semantics. Following a successful initial meeting in 2023, the second Advances in Truthmaker Semantics conference will take place in:
Munich, July 28–30, 2025, at Carl-Friedrich-von-Siemens Foundation, Südliches Schlossrondell 23, 80638 Munich, Germany
The aim of the conference is to share recent advances in truthmaker semantics and related approaches, as well as to strengthen the intellectual ties within the community.
Registration (free but required by July 15): https://forms.gle/hKQFMqRzQrGYHk7J7
