Talk by Joshua Brown (Theology, Mount St. Mary's University)

In early Daoist texts, the Dao ("Way") is often depicted as the principle of change, on the basis that it is change and changing in and of itself. From this, many scholars conclude the Dao is a fully immanent or natural concept, i.e., it stands within and neither above nor behind the natural order. The goal of presentation is to draw attention to aspects of early Daoist texts that challenge the standard interpretation. Specifically, the presentation will focus on analyzing how the Dao is not merely change or changing, but also unchanged and unchanging in Daoist texts.

Join us for part II of Sandra María López Velasco's talk on
"Routley-Meyer relational semantics for some variants of Brady's 4-valued matrix"

Abstract:

On the one hand, the well-known logic BN4 was defined by R.T. Brady in 1982 and can be considered as the 4-valued logic of the relevant conditional. On the other hand, Routley-Meyer type ternary relational semantics is the semantics introduced by these authors in order to model the logic of relevance. Part of my current research involves applying a R-M semantics to different logics built upon some variants of MBN4 (the matrix of BN4) which verify the Routley and Meyer basic logic B.

The aim of this talk is to display these logics briefly and the reason why they could be of some interest. I will also explain how a R-M semantics can be applied to them. Considering this, I will provide a general outline of the soundness and completeness theorems, valid for all these logics, and focus on the (corresponding) postulates proofs, which on the contrary need to be specified in each of these logics.
