Annual Formal Epistemology Workshops

We are in the process of organizing the second annual formal epistemology workshop. The purpose of these workshops will be to bring together individuals, both faculty and graduate students, using mathematical methods in epistemology in small focused meetings. Topics treated will include but are not limited to:

• Ampliative inference (including inductive logic);
• Game theory and decision theory;
• Formal learning theory;
• Formal theories of coherence:
• Foundations of probability and statistics;
• Formal approaches to paradoxes of belief and/or action.

Besides papers with respondents, each workshop will typically include short introductory tutorials (three or four topically related presentations) on formal methods. These tutorials will be oriented particularly to graduate students.

The second workshop is scheduled for 26-29 May 2005 and will be held at University of Texas at Austin.

Those interested in participating, either by presenting papers, responding, or providing tutorials, or in helping with organization, should contact one of the organizers listed below. The deadline for submissions is February 28 . We plan to have the final schedule set sometime in March.
