First Annual Mexican Philosophers' Conference
Agustin Rayo Agustin joined the faculty at MIT Philosophy in 2005, after spending four years as an Arche Research Fellow at the University of St Andrews and a year as an assistant professor at the University of California, San Diego. He received his PhD from MIT in 2001. Agustin works in the intersection of philosophy of logic and philosophy of language. He is especially interested in connections between possibility and content, and in the phenomenon of vagueness, but he's also done work on higher-order resources, unrestricted quantification, truth and the philosophy of mathematics. |

Abstract: How should one go about settling the question of whether I might have been an elephant? This paper is an effort to shed light on this question. More generally, I hope to get clear about the mechanisms whereby one is entitled to conclude that a given scenario is possible. |
