We welcome, as our keynote speaker, Professor Robert Hale  
(Sheffield), specialist in philosophy of mathematics, having also  
written much on possibility and necessity.

academic excellence and clarity by professional philosophers and our  
own editorial board. The conference is non-profit-making: the cost of  
registration, two nights bed and breakfast accommodation and  
refreshments is just 58 UKP. Registration without accommodation is 18
