14th-15th March 2013

Brussels, Belgium

The impact of the development of formal logic on philosophy in the 20th Century is well-documented. More recently the rise of formal philosophy, and in particular the application of formal methods in epistemology and semantics has proved that logical and mathematical methods have a bright future in philosophy.

With his work on Quine, P. Gochet played an important role in the former movement. Yet, he was also one of the first to recognized the importance of the interactive and dynamic turn in epistemology and formal semantics that characterize the latter movement.

The scholars and philosophers that will participate to this event have all played major roles in either or both of these movements.
