FLC Audit
June 9-11th, 2010
Once a year the AHRC-funded projects in Arché have an academic audit. It involves an external auditor who comes to St Andrews to interview project members, and writes a progress report on their work. For the Foundations of Logical Consequence the auditor is Hartry Field. As part of Audit programme the auditor will give a paper next week, and so will the two postdoctoral research fellows in the project, i.e. Colin Caret and yours truly.
Here is the programme:
Wednesday 4-6pm: Hartry Field, "Is There a Problem about Revising Logic?"
Thursday 9-11am: Colin Caret, "Against Model Theory"
Friday 9-11am: Ole Hjortland, "Thrice Denied: Speech acts, categoricity, and the meaning of logical connectives"
More information on the upcoming FLC conference is soon to follow.

I think that I'll be able to make it to Hartry's talk. I'll be asleep, but I should be there. (I think that my arrival time works...) In any event, I'll definitely be there for the important talks -- by those Caret and Hjortland fellas. I look forward to them!
See you soon. -Jc
Excellent news. Did we tell you about the paradox reading group. Colin, Dave Ripley, Shawn Standefer, Mike Caie, Mike De, and I have been meeting weekly to discuss parts of your book and Hartry's book. Especially the bits about the argument from Gödel's 2nd incompleteness thm to validity not being truth-preserving. So you should prepare for tons of questions! See you in about a week.
