*Geometry, Logic, and Philosophy:
The Case of the Parallels Postulate <#>*

Dr. Patricia Blanchette, University of Notre Dame
*Date:* Thursday, March 18, 2021
*Time / Location:* 3:30 - 4:30 p.m. | Online

*Abstract*
One of the most important techniques provided by modern logic is the use 
of models to show the consistency of theories. The technique burst onto 
the scene in the late 19th century and had its most important early 
instance in demonstrating the consistency of non-Euclidean geometries.

This talk investigates the development of that technique as it 
transitions from a geometric tool to an all-purpose tool of logic. Dr. 
Blanchette will argue that the standard narrative, according to which 
our modern technique provides answers to centuries-old questions, is 
mistaken. Once we understand how modern models work, she'll argue, we 
see important differences between the kinds of consistency-claims that 
would have made sense e.g. to Kant and the kinds of consistency-claims 
that we can demonstrate today. We’ll also see some 
philosophically-interesting shifts, over this time period, in the kinds 
of things that we take proofs to demonstrate.
