Proofs and Models in Philosophical Logic

September 3, 2021

Abstract: In this talk, I will draw out three different ways that soundness and completeness—and the relationship between proofs and models—can teach us in something about classical propositional logic, the semantics of modal logic, and the metaphysics of quantified modal logic.

The talk is an online presentation for the British Logic Colloqium.
The slides for the talk are available here.
