Dear all, For the pragmatism reading group next week, we will continue with Peirce, reading his 'Some Consequences of Four Incapacities'. For those not receiving this through the Phil-Events list, the reading is attached to this email. If you don't have access to the reading, please email me and I'll send it along.
We will meet at 11.00 on Tuesday 22 of October in P19 in the Department of History and Philosophy of Science. On Tuesday 29 of October there won't be a reading group, because there will instead be a dialectic on scientific realism, between Hasok Chang and Tim Lewens. This is organised by Bobby Vos. The full description of this event is below. Hope to see you at both events! Best, Oscar Dear all, It's my pleasure to announce a new, experimental event in the department under the name of The Dialectic, the first edition of which will take place 29th October, 11am-12:30pm, seminar room 2. Underpinning The Dialectic is the notion that the format of a constructive dialogue (not: debate) is uniquely well-suited for the exposition and analysis of novel ideas and unconventional views on the nature of history, philosophy, science and everything in between. Each dialogue will take the form of a conversation between a Proponent (defending a particular thesis) and an Opponent (interrogating the Proponent about their thesis and, optionally, presenting their own counter-thesis). The first installment of The Dialectic will feature: Hasok Chang (proponent) & Tim Lewens (opponent) discussing the thesis: Scientific knowledge is about real objects, which are constrained creations of our minds Many thanks to Tim and Hasok for agreeing to participate in this event. Looking forward to seeing many of you there! Kind regards, Bobby
