Dear all The fourth CamPoS seminar of Michaelmas term will be given by Wesley Buckwalter <https://wesleybuckwalter.org/ <https://wesleybuckwalter.org/>>, Presidential Fellow at the University of Manchester. Details as follows:
Time: Wed 13 November, 1-2:30pm Place: Seminar Room 2, Department of History and Philosophy of Science (Free School Lane, CB2 3RH) Title: The replication crisis and philosophy Abstract: The replication crisis is perceived by many as one of the most significant threats to the reliability of research in cognitive science. Though news of the replication crisis has been dominated by social psychology, all signs indicate that it likely extends to several other fields. This paper assesses the possibility that the crisis and related challenges extend to philosophy. According to one possibility, philosophy simply inherits a crisis by drawing on the same body of questionable evidence as in science. According to another possibility, a crisis is likely to extend to philosophy because philosophers engage in similar practices and structures as those implicated by the crisis in science. Proposals for improving philosophical research are offered in light of these possibilities.
