Workshop Description

On the one hand, the concept of identity naturally enters the discussion 
concerning many types of paradox that are not, primarily, about identity 
itself. On the other hand, there are a number of paradoxes considered as 
paradoxes of identity in which identity is apparently the concept generating 
the paradox (e.g., the ship of Theseus paradox, Chrysippus's paradox, the 
paradox of change, the paradox of constitution).

The goal of the workshop is to discuss philosophical, logical and linguistic 
aspects of paradoxes in which the notion of identity plays a role. More 
specifically, we wish to examine whether the so-called paradoxes of identity 
really are paradoxes of identity in the sense that their paradoxicality is 
primarily connected to the concept of identity; and we want to investigate the 
role of concepts of identity in connection with the formulation/solution of 
other types of paradoxes.

Invited speakers:

Jonathan Lowe (Durham)

and

David Nicolas (Institut Jean Nicod, Paris)
Manuel Rebuschi (Nancy)
Gerhard Schaden (Lille 3)

We invite submissions presenting novel contributions to the topic from the 
viewpoints of philosophy, logic and/or linguistics. Up to 4 papers will be 
accepted for presentation at the workshop.

Possible topics include, but are not limited to, the following:

- Identity and logic
