The Seventh Image Schema Day
ISD7 will take part of the workshop program of
The 20th International Conference on Principles of Knowledge Representation and Reasoning (KR2023)
September 2-4, 2023
Rhodes, Greece
Workshop at KR2023
This year, the ISD7 has been accepted as one of the workshops taking part in KR2023. We are very excited about this opportunity as the conference is known to draw a large audience interested in topics related to the ISD workshop's central theme: the formal treatment of conceptual patterns and image schemas!
KR2023 is also co-located with:
- The 21st International Workshop on Non-Monotonic Reasoning (NMR2023), and
- The 36th International Workshop on Description Logics (DL2023).
Three major scientific events that certainly will provide an interesting scientific foundation, offer new collaboration opportunities and provide a larger audience for the Image Schema Day to flourish!

About the Workshop
The Image Schema Day (ISD) is a workshop series devoted to the interdisciplinary research field of conceptual patterns, spatiotemporal reasoning and image schemas.
As a workshop focus lies on discussing progressive research, building new and exciting collaborations, and presenting progressive research!

Conceptions of Concepts: Frege vs Lakoff/Johnson, are they reconcilable?
Abstract: The talk will consider two radically different views of the nature of "concepts". For Frege, concepts are precise abstract entities that are independent from and only imperfectly perceived by humans. But cognitive linguists, such as Lakoff and Johnson, regard concepts as flexible and grounded in physical experience. Is there any way these views could be reconciled?
I suggest that by examining ambiguities in the word "concept" itself, and in how we construe the role of concepts in relation to meaning and reality, we may be able to accommodate both platonic and embodied conceptions of concepts within a semantic framework that is tolerant to variability of interpretations. I will contrast approaches to semantic variability based on "fuzzy logic" and "prototype theory" with
approaches based on "standpoint semantics" and"type coercion". The analysis will be illustrated in relation to the concept of "containment", which is often taken to be a paradigm "image schema" but can also be considered as an abstract geometrical concept.
Dr. Bennett is a Lecturer at the University of Leeds, UK. For many decades he has been working on spatiotemporal representation and reasoning, semantics for actions and events, and non-classical logics. His perhaps most famous contribution in regards to image schemas is the formal work on the region connection calculus (RCC). As a influential scientist, Bennett has written over 250 scientific articles, Google Scholar reports an H-index of 37, and over 5000 citations!
Ever the provocative debater, Dr. Bennett has promised the ISD7 a discussion-worthy keynote with plenty of opportunity for reflection, inspiration, and application! Don't miss it!
