Workshop on Truthmaker Semantics and Modal Logic

We are pleased to announce the Workshop on Truthmaker Semantics and Modal Logic, organized by Alessandro Giordani and Vita Saitta. This workshop will explore the intersection of truthmaker semantics and modal logic.

Workshop Description
Truthmaker Semantics is an innovative framework addressing key philosophical questions about meaning and logic. It is emerging as a significant tool in philosophical logic and the philosophy of language, challenging Possible Worlds Semantics in areas such as semantic and linguistic analysis, non-classical logics, and counterfactuals.

The aim of this workshop is to present current studies on the application of Truthmaker Semantics to modal logic. Discussions will include the philosophical analysis and the logic of modalities, such as necessity, possibility, obligation, permission, and knowledge. Additionally, the workshop will explore relationships with prominent semantic approaches to modal logic, including Possible Worlds, Neighborhood, and Topic-sensitive semantics.
