Dear all, Just a reminder that tomorrow at the Moral Sciences Club, Susanna Siegel will be giving a talk titled *Salience Norms*. This talk will be at 2.30 in the Barbara White room in Newnham College (this is different to the location of the two most recent meetings).
Note that there's a fee to attend MSC meetings. This can either be paid as a yearly membership (£7.50 for students, £15 for others) or a one-off fee for a single week's meeting (£2 students, £3 others). These can both be paid online at http://onlinesales.admin.cam.ac.uk/browse/extra_info.asp?compid=1&modid=1&catid=75&prodvarid=87 (alternatively, these can be paid in cash on the day). We look forward to seeing many of you there. Best wishes, Adam Bales and Daisy Dixon *Abstract* We evaluate newspapers according to two dimensions: whether their stories are well-researched and accurate (did the reporter check their facts?), and which stories they choose to print in the first place (are the stories relevant to the public? newsworthy? important?). Could an analogous distinction apply to the representational states in an individual's mind? We use epistemic norms to evaluate beliefs according to whether they are true and well-founded. But discussions of which thoughts should populate the mind in the first place are far less common in epistemology. I discuss whether there are norms of salience that apply to the mind, and if so, what kinds of norms these might be. -- Daisy Dixon and Adam Bales 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.
