If you have a question about this talk, please contact Sam Staton.

We will talk about several problems in the philosophy of language, using Donald Davidson’s work on actions as an example. We present a category-theoretic semantics for reasoning about action, and explain where it gets us philosophically. We finish with some speculative claims about Heidegger.
