Tradition as a Communication System. A Pragmatic Approach
Grad, Paweł
A context of my paper is the debate on reason, tradition and traditional
communities, in which this moral and epistemological issues were
discussed as a part of general socio-philosophical theory of modernity.
In particular I intend to locate my considerations in the context of
formal-pragmatic theory of modern communicative rationality
developed by Jürgen Habermas and Robert Brandom. I will provide a
competitive model of the rationality of tradition by applying a
conceptual toolkit of pragmatically oriented analysis to explain
practices connected with vocabulary of tradition. I argue that tradition
as a communication system has a fully rational structure. My main claim
is that communicative structure of tradition has a rational structure of
language game. This structure includes defined principles of
communication for members of closed tradition-grounded community
and rule of inclusion for potential new members.
Firstly I consider closely internal principles of communication
within the framework of tradition contrasting them shortly with
normative-deontic rules of the postenlightenment idea of pragmatic
communication discussed by Jürgen Habermas and Robert Brandom.
After that I examine the rule of inclusion — the rule, which mediates
between closed system of tradition-based community and his
environment.

Probabilistic Approach to Epistemic Modals in the Framework of Dynamic Semantics
Kostic, Milana
In dynamic semantics meaning of a statement is not equated with its truth
conditions but with its context change potential. It has also been claimed
that dynamic framework can automatically account for certain paradoxes
that involve epistemic modals, such as the following one: it seems odd and
incoherent to claim: (1) “It is raining and it might not rain”, whereas
claiming (2) “It might not rain and it is raining” does not seem equally odd
(Yalcin, 2007). Nevertheless, it seems that it cannot capture the fact that
statement (2) seems odd as well, even though not as odd as the statement
(1) (Gauker, 2007). I will argue that certain probabilistic extensions to the
dynamic model can account for this subtlety of our linguistic intuitions and
represent if not an improved than at least an alternative framework for
capturing the way contexts are updated and beliefs revised with uncertain
information.

How Much Do We Learn about Hallucinations from Thought-Experiments?
Szelegieniec, Joanna Helena
The idea that our sensory experience cannot serve as a ground for
knowledge lingers on within philosophical thinking from its very
beginning. Since even the ancient sceptics argued against the possibility
of knowledge based on sense perception due to its potentially illusory or
hallucinatory character, it seems reasonable to address the issue of
hallucination itself.
The purpose of this paper is to discuss upon the philosophical
account of hallucination present in current debates. I will mainly work
on the so-called ‘argument from hallucination’ which provides a
prevalent objection both against the direct realism theory of perception,
and externalist theories of content of experience. My primary intention
will be to single out the ontological claims concerning hallucinatory
experience that constitute the core of the argument from hallucination.
Moreover, the legitimacy of philosophical theses concerning
hallucination will be discussed both by means of philosophical analysis,
and in the light of chosen empirical findings.
