Conference "Foundations of Logical Consequence"

12-14 June 2010
St Andrews, Scotland

The first conference in the Arch Foundations of Logical Consequence 
project will take place at the University of St Andrews from 12-14 June, 
2010.

The aim of the conference is to clarify foundational questions about 
logical consequence. Should the foundations be essentially 
model-theoretic, or proof-theoretic, or some combination of the two, or 
is there a third way, e.g., deflationary? What are the relata of the 
consequence relation:Â sentences, propositions, utterances, statements or 
states of affairs? Are they sets of such relata, or multi-sets, or 
sequences? The aim is to bring together researchers in these fields to 
share their findings, reach conclusions, and provide a stimulus to 
further research. The list of invited speakers is as follows.

 JC Beall (UConn)
 Josh Dever (UT Austin)
 Hartry Field (NYU)
 Michael Glanzberg (UC Davis)
 Vann McGee (MIT)
 Hannes Leitgeb (Bristol)
 Agustin Rayo (MIT)
 Dag Westerthl(Gteborg)
 Robbe Williams (Leeds)
