Dear all, Please join us for the CamPoS (Cambridge Philosophy of Science) seminar
Wednesday 21st January 1-2:30pm in the Dept of History and Philosophy of Science, Seminar Room 2. Cheryl Misak (Toronto) will give a talk entitled "The subterranean influence of pragmatism on the Vienna Circle: Peirce, Ramsey, Wittgenstein". The abstract is below. Best wishes, Christopher Abstract: An underappreciated fact in the history of analytic philosophy is that American pragmatism had an early and strong influence on the Vienna Circle. The path of that influence goes from Charles Peirce to Frank Ramsey to Ludwig Wittgenstein to Moritz Schlick. That path is traced in this paper, and along the way some standard understandings of Ramsey and Wittgenstein, especially, are radically altered. _____________________________________________________ To unsubscribe from the CamPhilEvents mailing list, or change your membership options, please visit the list information page: http://bit.ly/CamPhilEvents List archive: http://bit.ly/CamPhilEventsArchive Please note that CamPhilEvents doesn't accept email attachments.
