Join us in the Logic Colloquium for a talk by Walter Dean (Warwick, UK):
"On the reverse philosophy of the sorites paradox"
Abstract: The goal of this talk is to use the sorites paradox to illustrate the methodology of "reverse philosophy" -- i.e. the application of methods from reverse mathematics to study the mathematical involvement of recognized arguments in analytic philosophy. After briefly motivating such a program, I will focus on the following: 1) the role of measurement and representation theorems in the linguistic formulation of various forms of the sorites; 2) the role of a weak form of Hölder's Theorem in the formulation of the conditional sorites for predicates such as "tall"; 3) the role of a stronger form of Hölder's Theorem in the formulation of the so-called continuous sorites for predicates such as "red" of Weber & Colyvan 2010/Weber 2021. Contrasts will be drawn between the constructivity of the weaker form (as observed by Krantz 1968 and formalized in RCA_0 by Solomon 1998) and the non-constructivity of the latter form (due to its apparent dependence on Arithmetical Comprehension).
All welcome!
