KCL-UNC workshop "Possibility and Probability"

King's College London

Possibility allows us to reason about what could be the case. Probability allows us to reason about what is likely to be the case. Despite the clear relevance of these notions to each other, much research on these two areas is pursued separately. There is much to be learnt from discussing work from these two domains in tandem. The goal of the Workshop is to bring together philosophers working on these areas and to provide a forum for learning about current research. 
The event will take place in Bush House (SE), room 2.12
