Days of Judgement
From Friday, 25 September 2009 through Sunday, 27 September 2009, the Institute for Philosophy at Leiden University organizes a conference on the theme of "Days of Judgement".
The notion of judgement brings back to logic and philosophy the notion of judging agent. This focus on the agent is not to be understood in a purely subjective sense, because the agent is entitled to judge only if he has grounds for his judgement. Recently, the notion of assertion, the linguistic counterpart to the notion of judgement, has come into focus. The aim of the workshop is to bring together different perspectives on the notion of judgement from the history of philosophy that have some relevance for a theory of assertion and judgement today.
