C-FORS WORKSHOP

Time and place: June 22-23 2026, University of Oslo, Blindern Campus, Georg Morgenstiernes Hus, 652.

New perspectives

on theoretical equivalence



TOPICS

Topics may include:

  • How much can we rely on formal criteria to assess theoretical equivalence without taking into account how linguistic expressions are interpreted?
  • Do formal criteria match an informal and pre-theoretical notion of theoretical equivalence (e.g., Church-Turing Thesis)?
  • How should we handle theoretical equivalence outside classical first-orderh theories?
  • Should we be monists or pluralist on theoretical equivalence?
  • How shall we assess the equivalence of modal and non-modal formal theories?
  • How shall we assess the equivalence of higher-order and first-order theories?
