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.
The Perceiving Representations project is organising a workshop on perceptions in which learning, imagination or the structure of the perception has significantly influenced or contributed to it.
The workshop is part of the project “Rethinking the Soviet experiment: Ukrainian and Russian perspectives” (RSE) which brings together scholars of 20th c. Soviet culture and society who had to flee the ongoing war in Ukraine and its catastrophic aftermath. RSE is being organized as a cooperation between the University of Oslo, the Humboldt University in Berlin, and the University of Belgrade and aims to provide opportunities of networking and intellectual exchange for Ukrainian, Russian, and Ukrainian-Russian scholars who are currently based in Europe.
Sponsored by Circle U (European University Alliance).

A conference on the perception of music and speech as part of the ‘Perceiving Representations’ project. In particular, we are interested in whether there are interesting similarities between the perception of these two auditory phenomena, and in gathering together specialists who are working on each to foster fruitful discussions and novel insights.
