‘Cognitive Approaches to Propositions or their Replacements’
Friday, June 13, 2014
NYU, Department of Philosophy
2nd floor
Workshop descriptions
The notion of an abstract proposition (a set of circumstances or a structured proposition) plays a central role in standard approaches to propositional attitudes and the semantics of attitude reports.
However, the notion raises an important issue of cognitive accessibility and has come under increasing attack. This workshop explores alternative, cognitive approaches to propositions or to what should instead play their role, taking into account both linguistic and cognitive issues.
