My talk in Banff

I’ve finished up the slides for my talk in Banff. If you’re interested, the slides are available here
Modal Models for Bradwardine’s Truth [1.3MB pdf]
It’s a talk giving a modal logic interpretation for a medieval theory of truth due to Thomas Bradwardine, as it’s reconstructed by Stephen Read. This will hopefully help out Steve’s project, by providing tools for exploring the strength of this kind of theory of truth.
I’ll write up an extended paper version of this after getting comments from the audience. Since the audience contains people who know a heck of a lot more than me about truth and about modal logic, I’m a little more on the anxious side than usual for such things. Wish me luck!

Thought
I haven’t a clue what it is to give a sense to a notion; the notion of giving sense to a notion hasn’t been given a sense, either in this context or, as far as I know, in any other. (I’ve been told that sense are sometimes given to concepts at Oxford after the gates close to visitors; but that may be a leg-pull.)
