Dear all, I'm happy to announce that CamPhor is starting again this 2013-2014 academic year. CamPhor is an HPS-based reading group with the aim of integrating post-Kantian and Phenomenological works with contemporary analytic philosophy, particularly the philosophy of science. We meet weekly during term on Fridays, at 12pm - 1pm. More information about CamPhor can be found here. <http://www.hps.cam.ac.uk/seminars/camphor.html>
In Michaelmas, we will predominantly be reading the work of John Haugeland, who operated at the intersection of philosophy of mind, science, and Phenomenology. In particular, we will be investigating and evaluating Haugeland's existential notion of 'understanding', and how he took it to play a role in science. However, we begin the term by welcoming Professor Hasok Chang (Cambridge, HPS), who will speak on his essay 'Ontological Principles and Intelligibility of Epistemic Activities' (in De Regt, Leonelli, and Eigner, 2009). Please contact me if you need a copy of the essay. I hope to see many of you this Friday! All best, Andrew -- Andrew Buskell PhD Candidate, Department of History and Philosophy of Science ERC Project: 'A Science of Human Nature? Philosophical Disputes at the Interface of Natural and Social Science<http://www.humannature.hps.cam.ac.uk> '
