David Ripley (University of Connecticut)

"From conversation to inference, via consequence”

This talk explores the notions of "positions" and "bounds" developed by Greg Restall in a series of works. Restall has used these notions to provide a novel account of consequence, of what it is for one claim to follow from another. In this talk, my purpose is twofold: to anchor these notions more securely in a theory of conversational norms, and to show how they can be used to give an account of deductive inference, in particular of what makes an inference non-ampliative.

Location: Seminar Room, Marchant Hall, CSU, Wagga Wagga.
