Kommentar: Aim of the Reading Group is to read and discuss together contemporary texts in logic and metaphysics. We will focus in particular on the following questions: what is the meaning of basic notions at the intersection between logic and metaphysics, such as truth? What are the limits of classical logic? What are paradoxes, and what are their possible solutions? What is the best use of logic, in philosophy, and common reasoning? What are the relations between logic and other branches of philosophy (especially: metaphysics and epistemology)? Lecture planned for this semester: Roy Sorensen, A Brief History of the Paradox, Oxford: Oxford University Press 2005.
