Description
*******************************************************************************
The aim of the conference is twofold. On the one hand, we would like to
investigate the role that various forms of truthmaking semantics and
semantical grounding can have in diagnosing the problematic nature of
paradoxes (including, but not limited to, semantic paradoxes, paradoxes of
vagueness, paradoxes of conditionals…), and how they can be used to
generate possible solutions to them; and, on the other hand, we would like
to study paradoxes of truthmaking or paradoxes of semantic grounding.
