Meeting Description:

The Amsterdam Graduate Philosophy Conference 2010 is organised by the 
Department of Philosophy and the Institute for Logic, Language, and 
Computation of the Universiteit van Amsterdam. The conference will be held 
between Thursday the 30th of September and Saturday the 2nd of October.

The theme this year is 'Truth, Meaning, and Normativity'.

We are pleased to announce our keynote speakers: Paul Egré (Paris); 
Jeroen Groenendijk (Amsterdam); Max Kölbel (Barcelona); Hannes Leitgeb 
(Bristol); and Åsa Wikforss (Stockholm).

The conference will take place at the Allard Pierson Museum. 

2nd Call For Papers

The 3rd Amsterdam Graduate Philosophy Conference on 'Truth, Meaning, 
and Normativity' is devoted to continue the discussions that were raised in 
the previous two conferences, as well as to lay the ground for new ones.

We invite submissions from graduate researchers conducting novel 
philosophical research into any of the three conference topics. We also 
encourage submissions that inform the discussion about truth, meaning, 
and/or normativity by offering a philosophical interpretation of results from 
other fields such as logic, cognitive psychology and linguistics (including 
formal semantics and sociolinguistics).

Areas of interest include but are not restricted to: formal theories of truth; 
deflationism; vagueness; proof-theoretic versus truth-theoretic conceptions 
of meaning; meaning as use; the semantics-pragmatics interface; 
compositionality; criteria and evidence for evaluating competing theories of 
truth and/or meaning; semantic normativity with respect to meaning, use, 
content, and context; syntax and logical form.

Since the topics of truth, meaning, and normativity naturally feed into each 
other, we also welcome contributions whose particular aim is to explore any 
of the many intricate ways in which these notions relate to one another. 
Submissions on the role that these notions have played, or play, in the 
broad (analytic) tradition or, more specifically, within the linguistic turn are 
also of interest to the conference.

Confirmed invited speakers

- Paul Egré (Paris)
- Jeroen Groenendijk (Amsterdam)
- Max Kölbel (Barcelona)
- Hannes Leitgeb (Bristol)
- Åsa Wikforss (Stockholm)
