Dear all, Don't forget that tomorrow at Serious Metaphysics, Professor Bence Nanay (Antwerp & Cambridge) will be presenting "There are no natural properties", abstract below. As usual, we'll meet at 12pm in the Philosophy Faculty Boardroom.
I hope to see many of you there. Best, Emily ________________________ David Lewis famously argued that some properties are more natural than others and that "an adequate theory of properties is one that recognises an objective difference between natural and unnatural properties" (Lewis 1983, p. 347). Lewis claimed that his 'elitism' about properties is justified as it can give simple and elegant solutions to a number of old metaphysical and philosophical problems. My aim is to point out that Lewis's elitism is deeply problematic and that it cannot fulfill its supposed grand explanatory role. _____________________________________________________ Sent by the CamPhilEvents mailing list.
