Topic

The general topic is paradox. Papers will focus on semantic-logical paradoxes, vagueness and soritical paradoxes, or combinations of the two. Some topics to be covered include contextual approaches to vagueness, contextual approaches to semantic-logical paradox, paraconsistent approaches to paradox, absolutely unrestricted quantification, and the prospects of a unified approach to both semantic-logical and soritical paradox.
