Catalog Description :
An investigation of topics selected from among the following: consistency and completeness theorems for both sentential and predicate logic, Gödel’s Incompleteness Theorem, logical paradoxes (Russell’s Paradox, the Liar Paradox, and Newcomb’s Paradox), and modal-tense logic and its formal semantics.
Topic for Spring 2022: Modal Logic
Philosophical arguments often rely on claims about what is possible, what must be the case, or what one is morally obliged to do. In this course we will study the deductive behavior and semantics of claims that are qualified by modal expressions such as these, expressions like ‘possibly’ and ‘necessarily’, 'it was the case that’ and ‘it will be the case that’, and ‘it is morally permissible that’ and ‘it is morally obligatory that’.
