Description
The international workshop on "Trivalent Suspension, Uncertainty and Reasoning with Conditionals" (TSUC) from August 30 - September 1, 2023 aims to bring together renowned researchers from philosophy, logic, formal epistemology, and mathematics to discuss the major issues, contemporary methodologies that have arisen in the study of suspension, uncertainty, and conditionals. We will investigate a specific perspective concerning trivalent logic, probability and conditionals. Specifically, this workshop intends to bring together researchers to introduce and discuss i) major TSUC research issues that have arisen in recent years, ii) innovative methodologies developed in response to such issues, iii) the connections between the three components of TSUC, and iv) major TSUC research challenges in its future development. Such research issues include the formal models of judgment suspension, indeterminism, uncertainty inference, many-valued connectives and consequences, subjective probability, conditional probabilities, trivalent conditionals, branching time structure, and so forth. We will be able to understand the major issues, and research problems and gaps for the future development of TSUC.
Program
The Workshop will start on Wednesday, August 30, at 2 p.m. and finish on Friday, September 1, at 2 p.m..?The venue is the campus of the University of Regensburg (Room H26 of the "Vielberth-Geb?ude").
