Dear all, A reminder that today at Serious Metaphysics Dr Allan Hazlett (Edinburgh) will be speaking on "Limning Structure as an Epistemic Goal" - abstract below. We'll meet at 12pm in the Philosophy Board Room and the session will last one hour.
We will also go for an informal lunch afterwards, all welcome. Best, Emily ______________________________ "Limning Structure as an Epistemic Goal" Abstract: I define a (metaphysical) property of beliefs - that of being "structure-limning," or of "carving nature at the joints" - and propose three epistemological applications: (i) that limning structure has pro tanto epistemic value, (ii) that a species of understanding can be defined by appeal to this notion, and (iii) that a distinction between significant and trivial truths can be articulated by appeal to this notion. _____________________________________________________ Sent by the CamPhilEvents mailing list.
