Abstract:
Manders (1989) suggested that the model-theoretic notion of model completion
could help conceptualize the rationale behind the choice of ideal elements
in mathematics. Bellomo (2021) usefully compares and contrasts this to the
idea of 'domain expansion' that one finds in the principle of permanence,
which has many connections to the Hilbert program (cf. Detlefsen 2005). The
Hilbert program has given rise to much within mathematical logic, and can be
viewed through the lens of reverse mathematics (Simpson 1988, Simpson 1999).
In this talk, we look at Manders' preferred method of domain extension in
the framework of reverse mathematics. It is one way of trying to understand
how hard it is to find the types of models at issue in model completions
when they exist.

Betreff: Critique - A Journal for Your Undergraduate Students
Dear Sir,
I would be appreciative if you would disseminate this opportunity amongst
your students.
Critique is an English-language peer-reviewed open access academic journal
published biannually in winter and summer by the University of Durham. It
publishes original articles, discussion pieces and authoritative book
reviews in any area of philosophy, written by undergraduates worldwide.
There are no costs associated with either submission or publication.
The journal is looking for peer-reviewers and soliciting submissions now.
Attached to this email is a call for papers. The submission guidelines can
be found by following
<https://www.durham.ac.uk/departments/academic/philosophy/undergraduate-stud
y/critique/> this link. Submissions should be sent as a Microsoft Word
document to the Editor at <mailto:durhamcritique@gmail.com>
durhamcritique(a)gmail.com. Applications to become a reviewer should be sent
to the same address. Applications might include a curriculum vitae, a
reference from an academic, a copy of a university transcript, or any other
material that the applicant might deem relevant to demonstrating their
competency in a certain topic, as well as philosophic method more generally.
<mailto:durhamcritique@gmail.com>
The journal will be published around July. Although submissions are accepted
all year round, authors and reviewers are asked to complete their
submissions by the middle of June if they wish to be included in the
forthcoming issue.
Faithfully,
B.V.E. Hyde
Editor
