We are glad to invite you to the next appointment of #PhiBorSeminars: Asad Q. Ahmed (@UCBerkeley) will present on "Simple Generation and the Semantics of Impossible Objects:  Some Discussions from Late Arabic Logic" tomorrow (May 19th, 10 am) at @IMTLucca, San Francesco, Aula 2.

Great day for PhiBor, as our very own Ginevra Tozzi defends at @IMTLucca her wonderful PhD thesis on Avicenna’s (Ibn Sīnā) De interpretatione ('Ibāra), between philology and logic. ⤵️

The committee is composed by external referees @mszarepour and Asad Q. Ahmed, as well as by Ginevra’s supervisor @AmosBertolacci. Cappella Guinigi is going logical (and modal), between future contingents, conditional necessity, and Arabic tenses ✨

Domani mattina a @UniStraSiena per parlare di Ibn Sīnā (Avicenna) con @AmosBertolacci e Donatella Lippi. Grazie mille a Tomaso Montanari, Haifa Alsakkaf e Liana Tronci per averla pensata e organizzata!
