- Abstract
Towards Non-Being presents an account of the semantics of intentional language - verbs such as'believes','fears','seeks','imagines'. Graham Priest's account tackles problems concerning intentional states which are often brushed under the carpet in discussions of intentionality, such as their failure to be closed under deducibility. Drawing on the work of the late Richard Routley (Sylvan), it proceeds in terms of objects that may be either existent or non-existent, at worlds that may be either possible or impossible. Since Russell, non-existent objects have had a bad press in Western philosophy; Priest mounts a full-scale defence. In the process, he offers an account of both fictional and mathematical objects as non-existent. The book will be of central interest to anyone who is concerned with intentionality in the philosophy of mind or philosophy of language, the metaphysics of existence and identity, the philosophy or fiction, the philosophy of mathematics, or cognitive representation in AI.

Orientadores: Giorgio Venturi, Rodolfo Ertola Biraben Cristian Tese (doutorado) - Universidade Estadual de Campinas, Instituto de Filosofia e Ciências Humanas Resumo: O problema essencial das teorias de conjuntos não clássicas é a falta de modelos naturais. Em particular, não temos modelos que sejam matematicamente expressivos. Nesta tese, pretendemos abordar este problema para várias classes de teorias de conjuntos não clássicas. Nós fornecemos modelos de teorias de conjuntos paraconsistentes e paracompletos na forma de modelos com valores algébricos. Mais especificamente, construímos uma classe de modelos paraconsistentes do fragmento livre de negação de ZF e construímos uma classe de modelos não clássicos de ZF que não são paraconsistentes nem paracompletos. Em seguida, exploramos duas extensões diferentes deste trabalho: (1) expandindo a linguagem da álgebra subjacente com diferentes operadores e (2) modificando a interpretação da pertinência e igualdade do conjunto em nossos modelos de valores algébricos. Isso dá origem a várias classes de modelos paraconsistentes da teoria dos conjuntos e a uma classe de modelos paracompletos da teoria dos conjuntos. Além disso, mostramos que esses modelos não satisfazem as mesmas sentenças da linguagem da teoria dos conjuntos e que podemos construir um modelo paraconsistente de ZFC baseado na Lógica do Paradoxo de Priest. Acreditamos que isso sugere que as teorias de conjuntos não clássicas e, em particular, as teorias de conjuntos paraconsistentes podem capturar uma quantidade razoável de matemática clássica Abstract: The essential weakness of non-classical set theories is their lack of natural models. In particular, we lack models that are mathematically expressive. In this thesis, we aim to tackle this problem for several classes of non-classical set theories. We provide models of paraconsistent and paracomplete set theories in the form of algebra-valued models. More especifically, we construct a class of paraconsistent models of the negation-free fragment of ZF and we build a class of non-classical models of ZF which are neither paraconsistent nor paracomplete. Then, we explore two different extensions of this work: (1) expanding the language of the underlying algebra with different operators and (2) modifying the interpretation of set membership and equality in our algebra-valued models. This gives rise to a several classes of paraconsistent models of set theory and to a class paracomplete models of set theory. Moreover, we show that these models are different from each other and that we can construct paraconsistent model of ZFC based on Priest's Logic of Paradox. We believe that this suggests that non-classical set theories and, in particular, paraconsistent set theories can capture a reasonable amount of standard mathematics Doutorado Filosofia Doutor em Filosofia FAPESP 2017/23853-0

This paper starts from the Equal Validity Paradox, a paradoxical argument connected to the so-called phenomenon of faultless disagreement. It is argued that there are at least six strategies for solving the paradox. After presenting the first five strategies and their main problems, the paper focuses on the sixth strategy which rejects the assumption that every proposition cannot be both true and false. Dialetheism is the natural candidate for developing strategy six. After presenting strategy six in detail, we formulate a normative problem for the dialetheist and offer a tentative solution to it. We then elaborate further considerations connecting strategy six to pluralism about truth and logic. Even if strategy six is a hard path to take, its scrutiny highlights some important points on truth, logic and the norms for acceptance and rejection.
