TITLE: ``Sources of Inconsistency in Commonsense Reasoning''

ABSTRACT:

Although much effort has been expended by researchers in trying to maintain a consistent belief base in formalizing commonsense reasoning, there is some evidence that the nature of commonsense reasoning itself brings inconsistencies with it. I will outline a number of sources of such inconsistencies, and discuss why they appear unavoidable.

Everyone is welcome to attend.
