What
does causation consist in, and,
depending on the possible answers,
what are the basic characteristics of
a causal relationship? -- this is the
main topic of the lecture
course. We shall also discuss
the most important contexts of
causality: the relationship of
causality to concepts of explanation,
law-like regularity, statistical
correlation, time, modality, and
logical inference. Our considerations
will be based on the analysis of the
causal narratives in our scientific,
first of all, physical theories;
rather than our every day experiences
or common sense intuition.
The lecture slides will be available
in a pdf file.

The
program focuses
on logic and its
applications in the
philosophy of science,
particularly in the
foundations of
mathematics, physics,
linguistics and the social
sciences. Beyond a few
core courses and a joint
four-semester seminar
series aimed at providing
a common background to all
students, we offer the
following four modules:
- Logic and the
Philosophy of
Mathematics
- Philosophy of Physics
- Logic in
Linguistics
- Models in the
Social Sciences
Students
have to select one of
these modules based on
their personal field of
interest.
