PROGIC 2015: Probability and Logic

22-24 April 2015
Canterbury, England

Dear colleagues,

We are calling for contributions to the seventh in the progic series of
conferences, which seeks to address the questions of whether, and if so,
how, probability and logic should be combined. The 2015 conference will
also be interested in connections between formal epistemology and inductive
logic. Can inductive logic shed light on epistemological questions to do
with belief, judgement etc.? Can epistemological considerations lead to a
viable notion of inductive logic?

Invited speakers include: Richard Bradley, Dorothy Edgington, John Norton,
Jeanne Peijnenburg,

The conference will be preceded by a two-day Spring School, where
introductory lectures on the themes of the conference will be given by
Juergen Landes, Jeff Paris, Niki Pfeifer, Gregory Wheeler, Jon Williamson.

We invite submissions of two-page extended abstracts of talks for
presentation at the workshop. These should be sent by email to
j.landes@kent.ac.uk by *1st November 2015*.

There will also be a special issue of the Journal of Applied Logic devoted
to the themes of this workshop. We invite submissions of papers to this
volume.

A limited number of bursaries are available to postgraduate students
attending the Spring School and the conference: these will cover 50% of
accommodation and registration costs.
