Just a reminder that Gábor Betegh will be speaking at the Serious Metaphysics Group this Thursday (the 29th) on `Colocation' (abstract below).
We will meet from 1:00 - 2:30 in the graduate common room in the philosophy faculty. Hope to see you there, Georgie Colocation In this paper, I present a historical overview and analysis of the different arguments offered to justify the commonly shared intuition that two bodies cannot be in the same place at the same time. After highlighting the most important relevant texts from Descartes, Locke, and Leibniz, I turn back to Antiquity and analyse in more detail the origins of these arguments. Ultimately, I will argue that the question of what can and what cannot be at the same place at the same time constituted a crucial motivation for distinguishing between different ontological realms. -- Georgie Statham PhD Candidate Faculty of Philosophy University of Cambridge _____________________________________________________ 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.
