Main Lecture Streams
The Ontology of Natural Language
Friederike Moltmann (French Centre Nationale de la Recherche Scientifique)
Metaphysics in the past was considered mainly a pursuit of philosophers, asking questions about being in most general terms. While some philosophers made appeal to natural language in order to argue for a ontological category or notion, others have rejected such an appeal arguing that the ontology reflected in language diverges significantly from what there really is or from a philosophically accepted ontology. Whatever one’s view may be of what a philosopher should pursue, it has become clear, especially with the development of natural language semantics (and syntax), that the metaphysics reflected in natural language is an important object of study in itself, as the subject matter of natural language ontology. These lectures give an overview of the sort of appeals philosophers have made to natural language, of the ways natural language reflects ontological categories, notions and structures, of cases of discrepancies between the ontology implicit in natural language and the reflective ontology of philosophers or non-philosophers, of how the ontology reflected in natural language should be characterized, and of the way of natural language ontology is to be conceived as a branch of metaphysics.top
Modality: Metaphysics, Logic, Semantics
Barbara Vetter (Freie Universität Berlin)
Modality is at the centre of contemporary metaphysics. The nature of possibility and necessity, as well as possible worlds, is a hotly debated topic. Possible worlds have, moreover, been invoked in theories of just about anything in metaphysics. And finally, necessity bears special importance for metaphysics, since metaphysical theories generally aim to be not just true but necessarily true. In addition, modality is a case study for the interaction between logic, semantics and metaphysics. While Quine still held that quantified modal logic was based on illicit metaphysical assumptions, it was arguably the formulation of a rigorous framework for modal logic that led to a rehabilitation of modal metaphysics. In these lectures, we will be covering topics in modal logic, semantics, and metaphysics, with an emphasis on how they relate to each other. Topics will include the different systems for modal logic; the nature of possible worlds; the formal semantics of ordinary-language expressions of modality; problems of merely possible existence; and the more recent turn in metaphysics towards hyperintensional notions that are not properly captured by possible worlds, such as essence or grounding.top
Science and Metaphysics
Jo E. Wolff (King’s College London)
Metaphysics has seen a massive revival in analytic philosophy over the past couple of decades. Most metaphysicians in the analytic tradition today would describe what they are doing as naturalistic metaphysics. Given that philosophical naturalism in general holds that natural science is to be accorded epistemic primacy, this raises the question of how science relates to metaphysics on this naturalistic understanding of metaphysics. Can metaphysical theories simply be 'read off' our best current science'? Or do scientific theories require metaphysical interpretations? Do science and metaphysics compete for the same subject matter, but use different methodologies, or are their subject matters different, yet their methodologies alike?
These questions have seen intense debate in both (meta-)metaphysics and philosophy of science, and a definitive answer has yet to emerge. In these lectures, we will look at different approaches to these questions: Penelope Maddy's Second Philosophy, Ladyman and Ross' structural realism, Ted Sider's metaphysical realism, L.A. Paul's defence of metaphysics as akin to science, and others more. The aim is to get a sense of the methodological diversity in contemporary metaphysics, as well as the different views of science presupposed by these approaches.top

The Epistemic Route to Reflection in Formal Arithmetical Theories
This talk will discuss different kinds of philosophical strategies to motivate the addition of proof theoretic reflection principles to formal theories that contain a sufficient amount of arithmetic. Reflection principles are formal statements expressing the idea that everything that is formally provable in a theory is the case, or is true, i.e. they express the soundness of a theory, and a fortiori, its consistency. I will distinguish three main strategies in the literature for motivating the addition of reflection principles to formal theories of arithmetic: (i) syntactically, by motivating a certain amount of transfinite induction; (ii) semantically, by committing to a certain notion of truth for arithmetic; or (iii) epistemically, by committing to a notion of (informal or absolute) provability for arithmetic. Motivating reflection by truth theoretic commitment has sometimes been described as spelling out our ‘implicit commitment’ to a certain notion of truth for arithmetic: by accepting the axioms of a formal arithmetical theory such as Peano arithmetic, we thereby implicitly commit ourselves to accepting certain other statements, such as the statement that Peano arithmetic is sound, that are not formally provable from the initial axioms because of the incompleteness phenomena. I will present a version of the implicit commitment thesis for (iii) and I will put forward an alternative view for justifying uniform reflection principles.top
Using Mathematics as a Model for Other a Priori Domains
There is not much communication between philosophers of mathematics and philosophers working in seemingly unrelated fields such as ethics, aesthetics, or philosophy of religion. This is unfortunate, given that the central metaphysical and epistemological problems discussed in each field are identical. For example, realists about any of the above domains must explain (a) how we can have epistemic access to the respective abstract objects and corresponding truths about them; (b) why fundamental disagreements in each domain do not count against a realist position; (c) in which sense the objects quantified over are indispensable to the best theories about each domain. In my talk, I will show how mathematics can function as a model for other a priori domains, and how the philosophy of mathematics can help us unify our philosophical reasoning about them.top
Connexive Logic
Connexive logics constitute a family of non-classical logics that has been studied for a long time, even though it was a fringe topic until interest picked up over the last years. In this talk, I will quickly review its history, which arguably goes back to Aristotle and other ancient philosophers. I will present its intuitive appeal and show how those intuitions can be based on considerations in the philosophy of language. I will talk about some interesting formal properties of connexive logics, such as the fact that they are the only well-motivated non-classical logics I know of that have tautologies that are not classical tautologies (as opposed the much more common trait of having strictly less tautologies than classical logic). These additions have a price, and I will discuss which aspects of classical logic that one might wish to keep will have to be given up by the connexive logician. I end the talk by giving my very personal assessment on where the most interesting routes for future research lie in this field. The talk will assume only knowledge of classical propositional logic and some basic concepts in the philosophy of language, but knowledge of the philosophical issues surrounding non-classical logics will surely be of help.
Can Physics Explain Economics?
The success of formal methods to explain natural phenomena in physics prompts the question of whether similar methods can be applied to explain phenomena in the social sciences, in particular in economics. Motivated by this question and the new interdisciplinary initiatives in nonlinear dynamics during the late 1980s, the last thirty years has seen an upswell in alternative approaches to economic modeling (many of which have been inspired by analogies with statistical physics), this tradition has come to be known as “econophysics”. In this lecture, we are going to discuss different models of econophysics focusing on the following philosophical questions: i) In virtue of what are these models explanatory? ii) Can these models have predictive power? iii) iv) What justifies the idealizations involved in these kinds of models? v)Are these models causal? vi) Can these models serve to guide possible avenues for actions of policy makers?top
Corrupt Science? - Philosophical Perspectives on Sponsorship Bias
Biased research occurs frequently in the sciences. In this talk, I will focus on one particular type of biased research: research that is subject to sponsorship bias. A scientific study is affected by a sponsorship bias iff the study is funded by a financially interested sponsor, and the outcomes of the study are significantly and systematically distorted in a way aligning with the sponsor’s financial interests. I will address on the following question: what precisely is epistemically defective (that is, unjustified ) about biased research? In light of a specific example of sponsorship bias, I will defend the claim that biased research is epistemically defective because biased research fails to provide evidence for the hypothesis to be tested, contrary to the assertions of the scientists carrying out biased research projects. I support this claim by drawing on major accounts of evidence and confirmation.top
Neo-Russellians and the Goldbach Puzzle
Neo-Russellians like Salmon, Soames and Braun hold that:
(A) The semantic content of a sentence S of a language L in a context c is a structured proposition whose basic components are objects and properties.
(B) The semantic content of 'n is F' in a context c is the singular proposition [o, P], where o is the referent of the name n in c and P is the property expressed by the predicate F in c.
(C) A sentence of the form 'n believes that S' is true in a context c iff the referent of the name n in c believes the proposition expressed by S in c.
This is sometimes referred to as 'the Naive Russellian theory'.
In the first part of this talk, I will argue that the Naive Russellian theory cannot adequately explain that a rational, normal English speaker could be disposed to accept (1) without being disposed to accept (2).
1) Ralph believes Goldbach's conjecture.
2) Ralph believes that every even number greater than two is the sum of two primes.
I will call this 'the Goldbach Puzzle'. In the second part of this talk, I will argue that a similar problem also arises for contextualists like Crimmins and Perry which replace (C) with (C'):
C') A sentence of the form 'n believes that S' is true in a context c iff the referent of the name n in c believes the proposition expressed by S in c under a contextually determined mode of presentation.
Following this, I will argue that we either have to reject (B) or the claim that mental predicates like 'believe' express relations holding between agents and propositions.top
Diagnosing Newcomb's Problem with Causal Graphs
Correlation is not causation. As such, there are decision-making contexts (like Newcomb's Problem) where it is entirely reasonable for an agent to believe that the world is likely to be better if she chooses a particular option, but also to believe that choosing that option would cause the world to be worse. Is it rational to choose such an option? Evidential decision theorists say yes, while causal decision theorists say no. In this talk, I use graphical causal models to make what I argue is the best case for causal decision theory. In so doing, my aim is not to convince the audience that causal decision theory is correct, but is rather to identify and explore some assumptions about the nature of choice and the nature of agency on which the fate of causal decision theory rests. Chief among these is the assumption that the standards of rationality apply to an agent's choice only when the agent is in a position to intervene.top
Inductive Logic and Rational Belief - the Evolution of Carnap's Inductive Logic
The philosophical literature on the interpretations of probability abounds with pronouncements that Carnap's logical interpretation of probability and his program of inductive logic "amounted to no more than heroic failure" (Howson 2000). However, a lot of the criticism seems to be founded on a heavily simplified view of Carnap's project. In my work, I aim to disentangle the misunderstandings and see what philosophical value can be salvaged from Carnapian inductive logic.
We will start the lecture with developing a basic understanding of the main tenets of the subjectivistic (Bayesian) and the logical view on probability. With this understanding as a tool, we will take a closer look at Carnap's position on the matter and its evolution through time. This will allow us to see for ourselves how correct the popular criticisms are. Additionally, we will reconstruct Carnap's inductive logic project in the wider context of his general conception of rationality, which only recently has been worked out from previously unpublished material (Carus 2017, Carnap 2017).top
MAP (Minorities And Philosophy) Round Table
What is it like to be a Woman in Mathematical Philosophy?
This round table will discuss experiences of being a woman in mathematical philosophy: everyone is welcome to attend (regardless of gender). Participants in the summer school will automatically be able to take part in the round table discussion; if, as a woman in mathematical philosophy, you would also like to actively participate in the round table, please register by writing an email to mathsummer2018@lrz.uni-muenchen.de. Following the round table, there will be a Q&A period during which all attendees may ask questions or make comments.

Cornelia Domino: Grounding and Socially Constructed Properties
Socially constructed properties are suspected of having a questionable metaphysical status (Boghossian 2006). Hacking describes them as having a looping effect (Hacking 1999), mean-ing that if something is described as an F, it consequently behaves as an F.They are ontolog-ically dependent on social agents as well as and not inevitable (ibid.). Nonetheless, they are causally effective and part of our ordinary life. On face value they seem to be metaphysically queer (Mackie 1977). The question that many philosophers seem to raise immediately is how socially constructed properties can be embedded in a world, which can be successfully de-scribed by scientists, is argued to be causally closed and in which microphysical facts are arguably the bearers of causally effective properties? What, if any, is their causal role?There are multiple strategies to embed the causal role of socially constructed properties into a world which one could describe as causally closed. In my thesis, I want to present one possible solution to the puzzle. I will consider both the notion of supervenience and grounding and argue for the usefulness of the latter. By applying the notion of grounding to gender, I will provide an account of how gender can be successfully reduced. In the wake of feminist philosopher Simone de Beauvoir, who argued that the social behavior of the sexes is not determined by their biological condition, I will reintroduce her argument in the new framework. Since gender cannot be reduced to biological grounds, I will consider social practices as the most suitable.top
Allie Richards: Modeling Bottom up Cognition in the Card Game SET
Decision-making tasks generally involve both bottom-up and top-down processes, but the relation between the two is not clear. Bottom-up processes are perceptual, and rely on visual features such as color, shape, or size; while top-down processes are conceptual and goal-driven. Let’s consider two scenarios: one in which I am searching for my jacket on a coat rack in a restaurant, and the other, I am in a store searching for a jacket to purchase. In the former case, I rely on my top-down process, as I have a certain goal in mind and have a specific concept (my jacket) that is guiding my visual search. In the latter case, I do not have this concept in mind, I am relying on visual stimuli to attract my attention. That is, as I am scanning my environment, I am relying on salient features to attract my attention. But in the store, is my decision about which jacket I choose to purchase solely based on bottom-up elements within the visual scene? Or does the saliency of the object in an explorative scanpath rely on bottom-up and top-down cognition? If a jacket attracts my attention because it has bright colors, then the elements are bottom-up. But if am searching the store for a certain type of jacket, then my search is guided by a conceptual goal.
At first glance it seems that in the latter scenario my search is random, and my decision for which jacket I purchase is heavily influenced on the perceptual properties of the jacket. Whilemy decision is indeed heavily based on the perceptual properties, it is not always the case that my search is random. Even if we assume that I have no previous knowledge of the store or the jackets in consideration, I am still guided by a conceptual goal, viz. the type of jacket I have in mind. In order to investigate the interaction between bottom-up perception and top-down planning within a visual search, I use the card game SET. SET, The Game of Visual Perception provides a fruitful environment for modeling decision-making tasks, especially when dealing with the interplay between bottom-up and top-down cognitive processing. More specifically, I shed to light a discrepancy between the objective probabilistic occurrences of types of SETs and the players’ subjective preference to them. I then suggest a strategy that models the interplay between the players’ bottom-up preference and top-down planning.top
Beatriz Santos: The Metaphysics of De Re Modality and Modal Paradoxes
Transworld identity and counterpart theory are competing analysis of de re modality. Whilst modal paradoxes, focusing on the transitivity of identity, threaten transworld identity, counterpart theory avoids them altogether. Counterpart theorists hold that this is evidence for adopting counterpart theory, but transworld identity theorists argue that they too can easily solve the paradoxes. Particularly, Salmon (1989,2005) arguably solves the paradoxes focusing on the transitivity of identity by rejecting the modal logic S4. I will argue that the stand-off between counterpart theory and transworld identity can be broken in favour of counterpart theory. To do this, I put forward a new modal paradox--the "Two-Worlds Paradox"--which focuses on the symmetry of identity. To consistently solve my paradox, Salmon would have to reject the modal logic B. I argue that Salmon cannot provide independent motivation for rejecting both S4 and B, and thus cannot solve all the paradoxes that threaten transworld identity. The counterpart theorist, on the other hand, can easily avoid my paradox too. I conclude that this is evidence for abandoning transworld identity and accepting counterparttheory.top
Mallory Weber: Guise-Counterpart Theory: A New Semantics for Monists
The debate over material constitution is the debate over whether multiple objects can materially coincide - whether multiple objects can exist in the same place at the same time, sharing all of their material parts. Call those who countenance material coincidence pluralists and call those who deny pluralism monists. The debate over constitution can generally be schematized as follows: (1) The pluralist predicates incompatible properties to a thing and its constituent matter. The pluralist applies Leibniz's Law and concludes distinctness. (2) The monist responds, arguing that the specific application of Leibniz's Law is unlicensed in this specic linguistic context. (3) (Sometimes) the pluralist responds, arguing that pursuing (2) requires the monist to adopt an implausible semantics.1 This paper is concerned with a monist's response to (3): what can a plausible semantics for a monist look like? Current monist responses2 explicitly do not provide a comprehensive semantics for the monist to adopt. I suggest the following on behalf of the monist.
The evaluation of propositions concerning ordinary material objects is sensitive to an extra parameter in the index of these propositions; call this parameter the guise-parameter. I suggest that a predicate can be said to truly apply to an individual if and only if that individual's guise-counterpart (quite roughly, a way of thinking of that individual) represents that individual as having the property expressed by the relevant predicate.
This guise-counterpart theory includes three main mechanisms:
Relativity Mechanism: The content of a proposition is, somehow, guise-relative. (This does not require that the properties involved are relations between an object and a way of thinking of that object.)
Guise-Fixing Mechanism: The guise-parameter is xed by the context.
Shifting Mechanism: The guise-parameter can shift mid-sentence.
Intuitively, the guise-counterpart theory is meant to capture the following. We can, and do, think of objects in many ways. Thinking of an object in dierent ways can inuence its property profile. Taking seriously this second point, the monist can account for intuitions behind pluralism (seeming incompatible property dierences of one and the very same object) without accepting a pluralist ontology.
Finally, adopting a guise-counterpart semantics may have interesting implications for the monist's ontology; I end with brief considerations a metaphysics that can go along with this semantics ought to address.
