Kit Fine (University Professor and Silver Professor of Philosophy and Mathematics, New York University) will give a talk titled "The Case for Numerical and Mereological Indeterminacy". 

The purpose of this workshop is to develop a shared understanding of the aims of the C-FORS project. 

This PhD course will focus on the phenomenon of entanglement and non-locality in quantum mechanics, with the aim of deepening the understanding of their philosophical implications.

Possible worlds are total ways the world could have been and have played a crucial role in the metaphysics and logic of modality. Many issues in the philosophy of possible worlds are discussed in terms of the debate between actualists and possibilists. This workshop aims to bring together philosophers working broadly in the metaphysics of modality to discuss the extent to which these issues about possible worlds can be understood and interact with the more recent debate in modal metaphysics between contingentists and necessitists.
