Dear All, Next Tuesday (4th Feb), Colin Johnston, from the University of Stirling, will give a talk entitled 'The Tractatus on Truth and Judgment'. An abstract is attached below.
The meeting will start at 5.15pm and will be held in the Fisher Building of St. John's College in either the Boys Smith Room, the Dirac Room, or the Castlereagh Room. As usual, the speaker will present for no longer than 45 minutes, followed by a discussion until 7.00pm. If you would like to join Colin for dinner after the talk, then please let me know by noon on the day of the talk. The termcard is available online: http://www.phil.cam.ac.uk/news_events/moral_sci.html Regards, Daniel Brigham Secretary of the Moral Sciences Club Faculty of Philosophy University of Cambridge *** In 1910 Russell offered both a multiple relation theory of judgment and a correspondence theory of truth. It has been a prevailing understanding of the Tractatus that Wittgenstein rejects Russell's multiple relation idea but endorses the correspondence theory. Ramsey took the opposite view. In his Facts and Propositions, Ramsey endorses Russell's multiple relation idea, rejects the correspondence theory, and then asserts that these moves are due to Wittgenstein. I shall argue in this talk that Ramsey's ascriptions are both correct. _____________________________________________________ Sent by the CamPhilEvents mailing list.
