Call for Papers:

Modality in Physics

Kraków, Poland, June 11-13, 2018

Description: The conference is devoted to clarify the question as to what role modality plays in theories of physics. Has our physical world an irreducible modal aspect? Are there modal properties, entities or other conceptual tools which are indispensable in understanding physical theories? If these elements are dispensable, does adding modality help to interpret these theories?

Invited speakers:

  *   Guido Bacciagaluppi (Utrecht University)
  *   Andreas Bartels (University of Bonn)
  *   Mauro Dorato (University of Rome 3)
  *   László E. Szabó (Eötvös University, Budapest)
  *   Samuel C. Fletcher (University of Minnesota)
  *   Balázs Gyenis (Research Centre for the Humanities, Budapest)
  *   Jenann Ismael (University of Arizona)
  *   Barry Loewer (Rutgers University)
  *   Tim Maudlin (New York University)
  *   Thomas Müller (University of Konstanz)
  *   Stephen Mumford (Durham University)
  *   Oliver Pooley (University of Oxford, TBC)

  *   Gábor Hofer-Szabó (Research Centre for the Humanities, Budapest)
  *   Joanna Luc (Jagiellonian University, Kraków)
