C. Chang) have been very interested in its application to the semantic, property-theoretic and set-theoretic paradoxes. But it isn\u2019t ultimately workable for either. This talk will sketch how to generalize it to make it work (not for set theory, because of extensionality, but for truth and properties, and also for vagueness). The resulting theory is more powerful than Kripke&#8217;s in that it treats conditionals and restricted (as well as unrestricted) quantifiers. I\u2019ll avoid technical details, but give enough of the idea so that those technically inclined shouldn\u2019t have much problem filling them in. There will also be a bit of discussion of why we need two kinds of conditionals.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Free Attendance<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>For further information, please write to c.filosofia@letras.ulisboa.pt or cmafcio@fc.ul.pt<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Centro de Filosofia da Universidade de Lisboa LanCog Group (Language, Mind and Cognition Research Group) Centro de Matem\u00e1tica, Aplica\u00e7\u00f5es Fundamentais e Investiga\u00e7\u00e3o Operacional CMAF-CIO &nbsp; Hartry Field New York University Generalizing Fuzzy Logic for Semantic Paradoxes (and Vagueness) 20 May 2019, 16:00 Faculdade de Ci\u00eancias da Universidade de Lisboa Building C6, 2nd floor, room 6.2.33 [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"activitypub_content_warning":"","activitypub_content_visibility":"","activitypub_max_image_attachments":4,"activitypub_interaction_policy_quote":"","activitypub_status":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-755","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cful.letras.ulisboa.pt\/lancog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/755","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cful.letras.ulisboa.pt\/lancog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cful.letras.ulisboa.pt\/lancog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cful.letras.ulisboa.pt\/lancog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cful.letras.ulisboa.pt\/lancog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=755"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/cful.letras.ulisboa.pt\/lancog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/755\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":757,"href":"https:\/\/cful.letras.ulisboa.pt\/lancog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/755\/revisions\/757"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cful.letras.ulisboa.pt\/lancog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=755"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cful.letras.ulisboa.pt\/lancog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=755"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cful.letras.ulisboa.pt\/lancog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=755"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
