TITLE: The Use and Misuse of Proof Systems

ABSTRACT:
Proof systems, systems of axioms and inference rules, have a long history,
going back to ancient times. Early on they mainly occurred in mathematics,
but nowadays they are being used also in other fields, such as computer
science, linguistics, and philosophy. The way in which proof systems are
used differs per area, which is why there exist a great variety of proof
systems, each tailored for the specific application it is meant for. In
this talk, I will discuss proof systems in general and address the topics
just mentioned (no knowledge of proof systems is assumed). We will see
settings for which the proof-theoretic view is well-suited, and others for
which the proof-theoretic approach may not be the best method of
investigation.

SHORT BIO:
Rosalie Iemhoff is a proof theorist with a special interest in constructive
theories and nonclassical logics. She studied mathematics and obtained her
PhD in mathematical logic in 2001. After several years as a postdoc in the
US and Austria, she obtained a position at the Department of Philosophy of
Utrecht University, the Netherlands. She has received two big grants from
the Dutch Science Foundation, which enabled her to carry out various
research projects with a group of postdocs and PhD students. She has been
editor-in-chief of the Journal of Philosophical Logic and currently serves
on the editorial boards of the ASL book series Perspectives in Mathematical
Logic and the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy.
