DESCRIPTION:Title: <a href="https://researchseminars.org/talk/Category_The
 ory/119/">Syntax\, Semantics\, and the Philosophy of Science.</a>\nby Noso
 n S. Yanofsky (Brooklyn College) as part of New York City Category Theory 
 Seminar\n\nLecture held in Room 4214.03 in The Graduate Center\, CUNY.\n\n
 Abstract\nScience describes the universe. The phenomena of the universe fo
 rm one collection and the scientific descriptions form another. These two 
 collections are related in various ways. F.W. Lawvere's functorial semanti
 cs showed us how to deal with algebraic structure and descriptions of alge
 braic structure. The semantics-syntax adjunction relates these two collect
 ions. We shall show that using the ideas of functorial semantics gives us 
 ways of describing many issues in the philosophy of science. We also show 
 that many limitations of science (including epistemic boundaries and self-
 referential paradoxes) can be understood and classified from this point of
  view.\n
