18:00-19:00 Public plenary lecture (joint event with Logic Coloquium 2019): What if meaning is indeterminate? Ramsification and semantic indeterminacy Hannes Leitgeb (LMU, Munich)

Can we still use classical logic and semantics if the interpretation of natural language terms, mathematical terms, and scientific terms is not uniquely determined? This talk will develop a positive answer by applying a method
that goes back to F. P. Ramsey: we only need to “Ramsify” semantics.

NOTE: A light refreshment and welcome drink will be served one hour before the lecture.
