The three-day workshop, supported by the SNSF projects ‘Connectives, Predicates, and Priority’ & ‘Functions, Relations, and Types’, mainly focused on relations, a subject of outmost interest for the new horizons in ontology.
Are there relations? And if so, what are their identity conditions? These and many other related issues have been discussed in the pleasant interiors of the Hotel de la Paix.
