The first is logical expressivism\, according got which logical vocabulary plays an expressive role in linguistic practice. The second is a novel analysis of circularity in logical semantics\, the upshot of which is that logical practice is “underdetermined” by the logical facts.

For Spinoza\, God has an infinity of attributes and each one is said to express God’s infinite and eternal essence.  With the exception of a few\, this term remains a desiderata in the scholarship on Spinoza’s attribute theory and broader metaphysics. My talk focuses on the role of expression in Spinoza’s theory of attributes. The first part of my talk argues that the concept of expression is indeed a notion working in his metaphysics of the attributes. The second part of my talk (very much a WIP) aims to offer an account of the metaphysics of the concept of expression by reimagining his attribute theory in a way that is inclusive of the concept of expression.

The novely of the semantics consists in the analysis of (ii)\, which is made precise as: the distance between the closest B-worlds and the closest non-B-worlds is smaller than the distance between the closest A&B-worlds and the closest A&non-B-worlds. I will explain how the required ordering of distances between worlds can be captured in non-numerical terms\, what the logic is like that is sound and complete with respect to the semantics\, what a probabilistic version of the semantics looks like\, and why the system is to be preferred over other recent semantics and logics of conditionals that analyse (ii) above differently. \n(This is joint work with Hans Rott.)
