13:30-17:30 Session 2: Tutorial Lecture by Frank Veltman
Title: "Or else, what?"
Abstract: In this talk I will present the theory of imperatives 
  that I have developed in the past five years and apply it to a  
  number of problems involving disjunction. In particular I will  
  use it to analyse pseudo-imperatives and a variant of the Miners
  Paradox.
