DESCRIPTION:Please join us for a PATH+ talk with Peter Adamson (LMU Münche
 n) entitled\, "Logic\, Language\, and Assent in Islamic Philosophy".\n\nTh
 is presentation will survey developments in the conception of logic\nfrom 
 late antiquity to post-classical Islamic philosophy. In focus is\nthe ques
 tion of the purpose of logic and its relationship to natural\nlanguage. I 
 argue that the early thinkers of the "Baghdad school" had an\ninflationary
  view of logic\, according to which it studies linguistic\nexpressions ins
 ofar as they can be used to express truth. By contrast\nIbn Sīnā (Avicen
 na)\, while agreeing that we need logic to reach\nknowledge\, thinks of lo
 gic in much more formal terms.\n\nWHEN: Tuesday\, March 31\, 4:30PM\,\n\nW
