Colin Caret
Interests
Logic, Truth, and Metaphysics. I am especially interested in deflationism, semantic paradox, paraconsistent logic, dialetheism, and the various puzzles of material composition.
Non-Research interests include virtue ethics, feminism, and vegetarianism.
Projects
Application and Interpretation of Non-Normal Relational Semantics. A non-normal relational semantics employs the mechanisms of frames and models after the fashion of Kripke, but draws a distinction between two types of points of evaluation called the 'normal' and 'non-normal' worlds. Under such a semantic framework, at least one intensional connective is assigned truth-conditions which behave differently at normal worlds than they do at non-normal worlds. My project investigates the variety of logics to which this technique gives rise, their applications, and the best philosophical interpretation of the distinction between normal and non-normal worlds.
