Second call for Papers

Theme: Truth, Meaning, and Normativity

The 3rd Amsterdam Graduate Philosophy Conference on ?Truth, Meaning, and
Normativity? is devoted to continue the discussions that were raised in the
previous two conferences, as well as to lay the ground for new ones.

We invite submissions from graduate researchers conducting novel
philosophical research into any of the three conference topics. We also
encourage submissions that inform the discussion about truth, meaning,
and/or normativity by offering a philosophical interpretation of results
from other fields such as logic, cognitive psychology and linguistics
(including formal semantics and sociolinguistics).

Areas of interest include but are not restricted to: formal theories of
truth; deflationism; vagueness; proof-theoretic versus truth-theoretic
conceptions of meaning; meaning as use; the semantics-pragmatics interface;
compositionality; criteria and evidence for evaluating competing theories of
truth and/or meaning; semantic normativity with respect to meaning, use,
content, and context; syntax and logical form.

Since the topics of truth, meaning, and normativity naturally feed into each
other, we also welcome contributions whose particular aim is to explore any
of the many intricate ways in which these notions relate to one another.
Submissions on the role that these notions have played, or play, in the
broad (analytic) tradition or, more specifically, within the linguistic turn
are also of interest to the conference.
