Just a reminder that Hugh Mellor is speaking on 'Truthmaking vs Physicalism' at the Serious Metaphysics Group today. We'll meet from 1:00-2:30 in the philosophy faculty board room.
Hope to see you there, Georgie My talk will be extracted from §§5-7 of ‘From Translations to Truthmakers’ - https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/32992546/Translations-Truthmakers.pdf - my contribution to a forthcoming volume in memory of David Armstrong. In it I argue that on a realist view of dispositions, including intentional states, truths about our beliefs, desires, etc., can’t be made true by our contemporary brain states but only by our being in those very mental states. §§1-4 of the paper may provide an enlightening background to the talk, but I don’t propose to discuss them. -- 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.
