Dear All, A few of us “Early Career” Philosophers had some fortnightly meetings last term, where we were discussing our work in progress. We will start up again this Friday, and I will present some thoughts about Kripke’s dogmatism puzzle. If you’re interested, please come!
About the Logistics: we will meet in the Faculty Boardroom on Friday, January 29, 4.00-5.30pm. There might be snacks of some description, and some people might go for dinner and/or a drink afterwards. About the Topic: It follows from p that evidence against p is misleading. So if you know that p, you can deduce that all evidence against p is misleading. But you should avoid/ignore evidence which you know to be misleading. So if you know that p, you should avoid/ignore evidence against p. But actually doing that looks weirdly dogmatic. So we must have gone wrong somewhere – but where? About the Group: The group is supposed to be a forum for the wide-range of Early Career Philosophers in Cambridge (JRFs, Post-docs, temporary lecturers, etc.) to get together and discuss their work in progress. The atmosphere is intended to be extremely relaxed and charitable – presenting work in very early stages of progress is highly encouraged, as is going to discussions on topics on which you have little or no background. Those not Early Career Philosophers are very welcome to attend; if interested, they are also welcome to present (email me!), though priority will be given to Early Career Philosophers. All the best, Bernhard p.s.: If you identify as an Early Career Philosopher, but have not been getting emails from me about this, please let me know! _____________________________________________________ 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.
