7 November 2011 to 10 November 2011	Conference	History and Philosophy of Computing Calculemus! Let us calculate! These are Leibniz’ famous words. He would probably not have imagined that about three centuries later almost anybody would actually rely on computations in his/her everyday life. Especially since the development of the so-called personal... Read more
22 September 2011	Doctoral defense	Epistemic Evaluation in the Context of Pursuit and in the Argumentative Approach to Methodology Doctoral Defense Dunja Seselja, Promotor: Erik Weber and Joke Meheus
19 September 2011 to 21 September 2011	Conference	Causality and Explanation in the Sciences Causality and causal inference play a central role in the sciences. Explanation is one of the central goals of scientific research. And scientific explanation requires causal knowledge. At least, these are well-known tenets in present-day philosophy of science. In this... Read more
10 June 2011	Workshop	Science versus Democracy? Science versus Democracy? is a one-day workshop on the relation(s) between Science and Democracy organized at the Ghent University, Faculty of Arts and Humanities by the Centre for Logic and Philosophy of Science (http://logica.ugent.be/centrum). Specific topics discussed... Read more
6 May 2011	Lecture	On second order propositional logic of open subsets of the real line It is known that the algebra of open subsets of the real line constitutes a sound and complete semantics for intuitionistic propositional logic, IPC. IPC has PSPACE complete set of tautologies. However, if we add quantification over propositions then the resulting logic,... Read more
6 May 2011	Lecture	Separate common causes and EPR correlation - a no-go result Bell's theorem derives empirically testable (in fact, falsifiable) inequalities from seemingly natural assumptions regarding models of EPR correlations. The assumption which is usually rejected is that of Outcome Independence (OI), related to Reichenbach's Common... Read more

10 December 2010	Lecture	Relevant Logic and Classical Proofs Adaptive logicians have long treated mathematical theories using non-monotonic logical techniques. Other non-classical logicians are just starting to come around to this idea. In order to have a set theory that is powerful enough, for example, to act as a basis for model... Read more
