The full schedule and links to abstract are available here: http://entia2015.tumblr.com/schedule  - Diderik Batens (University of Ghent) talked about adaptive naive set theory, where he used his inconsistency-adaptive logic over naive set theory to obtain an interesting non-trivial theory. My only worry was that he needed three different conditionals to acc...
