Hi all, I have a hankering to read some David Lewis and one of Steve Yablo's books has been staring up at me from Kyle's desk for weeks and making me jealous. So in between terms I'm going to be reading some papers by each of these philosophers (if I remember the agenda of the last staff-student committee right Yablo will be visiting Cambridge next June so for those who are unfamiliar with his work there's an additional incentive to read some of it).
I know a lot of you will be away between terms but while I'm reading the papers anyway, I figured I may as well see if anyone wanted to meet up and chat about them so I'm going to run a fairly casual reading group in December and January. If you're interested in coming for some or all of the weeks, drop me an email and I'll send a reminder around closer to the time. Planned readings 9th December at 2 o'clock - New Work for a Theory of Universals (David Lewis) 16th December at 2 o'clock - Does Ontology Rest on a Mistake (Steve Yablo) 6th January at 2 o'clock - What Puzzling Pierre Does Not Believe (David Lewis) 13th January at 2 o'clock - Abstract Objects: A Case Study (Steve Yablo) We'll probably just meet in the graduate break room (or whatever that room is called) unless doing so turns out to be a problem (in which case I'll arrange somewhere else).
