Dear all, Just a reminder about today's meeting of the Moral Sciences Club - the main event, of course, is Alan Hájek's talk, 'Begging to Differ With Similarity Accounts of Counterfactuals' (abstract below), but beforehand we'll be having the *annual photo at 2pm *on the lawn outside the Barbara White Room, Newnham College*.* If you want to be in the photo, please remember to come at the earlier time! The rest of the meeting, including the AGM, will start at the usual time of 2.30 (in the Barbara White Room).
Best, Ali Boyle & Matthew Simpson *Abstract: Begging to Differ With Similarity Accounts of Counterfactuals* Widespread agreement among philosophers on a given topic is rare. However, it is enjoyed by similarity accounts of counterfactuals. Roughly, they say that the counterfactual if *p* were the case, *q* would be the case is true if and only if at the nearest *p*-worlds, *q* is true. I disagree with such accounts, for many reasons. -- Ali Boyle and Matthew Simpson Secretaries of the Moral Sciences Club Faculty of Philosophy University of Cambridge [email protected] http://www.phil.cam.ac.uk/seminars-phil/seminars-msc _____________________________________________________ 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.
