Description

In this workshop there will be presentations on original contributions in philosophical logic and formal philosophy more generally that are relevant for the study of deliberative, multi-agent decision processes and procedures.
In contemporary democratic theory and political science, the importance of deliberation is stressed over and again. But what exactly is deliberation, and what exactly can we expect from it?
In contemporary democratic theory and political science, the importance of deliberation is stressed over and again. But what exactly is deliberation, and what can we expect from it? From an abstract perspective, group deliberation is a multi-agent process that involves two types of dynamics running in parallel. At the social level, there is the public exchange of beliefs, arguments, preferences and values that are supposedly relevant to a given decision. At the individual level, there is the revision of each participant’s personal attitudes, induced by and further inducing such exchanges, and the (often defeasible, non-monotonic) reasoning processes guiding such revision. Thus conceived, a plethora of formal methods from philosophical logic – broadly speaking – are relevant to the study of deliberation as a democratic ideal: i.a. the theory of rational belief revision; dynamic epistemic logic and logics of information dynamics more generally; non-monotonic (modal) logic; deontic logic (dealing with preferences, values, and their interaction with other information). In this workshop we welcome all presentations on original contributions in philosophical logic and formal philosophy more generally that are relevant for the study of deliberative, multi-agent decision processes and procedures. Keynote Speakers:
  • Natacha Alechina (Dept. of Information and Computing Sciences, University of Utrecht)
  • Zoé Christoff (Bernouilli Institute for Mathematics, Computer Science and Artificial IntelligenceOpens external, University of Groningen)
  • Dominik Klein (Dept. of Philosophy, University of Utrecht)
  • Hannes Leitgeb (Munich Center for Mathematical Philosophy, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München).
