The Ninth Principia International
Symposium will be held in Florianopolis,
Brazil,
from August 17th to 20th, 2015, focusing on possible worlds and their
applications in philosophy and the sciences. Possible worlds have been
widely used in many areas of philosophy, in particular, in
metaphysics, philosophy of language, philosophy of physics, and
philosophical logic. We welcome contributions that address any aspect
of the significance of possible worlds or that examine critically their
use in philosophy or in the interpretation of the sciences.
The eight previous symposia
in this series have been devoted, respectively, to Principles in Philosophy and in
the Sciences (1999), The Philosophy
of Bertrand Russell (2001), The Philosophy of Willard van Orman Quine (2003), The Philosophy of Donald
Davidson (2005), The Philosophy of Bas van Fraassen (2007), Charles Darwin and his impact
on philosophy and the sciences (2009), The
Philosophy of Nelson Goodman (2011) and The Philosophy of Hilary
Putnam (2013).
This Symposium is being
organized by the Epistemology and Logic Research Group (NEL-UFSC), in association
with Principia, and supported by the Graduate Program in
Philosophy and the Philosophy Department of Federal University of Santa
Catarina (UFSC), Brazil.
