Dear all The final CamPoS seminar of Lent term will be given by Dr Maarten Steenhagen <http://msteenhagen.github.io/>, Lecturer in the Faculty of Philosophy at the University of Cambridge. Details as follows:
Time: Wednesday 13 March, 1-2:30pm Place: Seminar Room 2, Department of History and Philosophy of Science (Free School Lane, CB2 3RH) Title: On a central puzzle in philosophical catoptrics Abstract: This paper will address one of the central puzzles of philosophical catoptrics, the philosophical study of the optical properties of mirrors. When you look in your bathroom mirror you see your own face. This seems obvious. However, it is also natural to say that what you see is a mirror image of your face. I will assess whether these claims are ultimately compatible. My main aim is to clarify our conception of the relation between mirror images and the reality of which they are images. This will contribute to our understanding of the optical properties of mirrors, but will also help refine currently dominant conceptions of images.
