Dear all,
This Thursday (Nov 26) the Serious Metaphysics Group will meet for the last time this term - we will have Arif Ahmed presenting on Rationality and Future Discounting. (abstract below). The talk will be at 1.00-2.30pm, at the Philosophy Faculty Board Room. You are welcome to bring along your lunch, if you are arriving from another talk/lecture beforehand. Best wishes, Li Li -- > Parfit's 1984 justification of time-discounting is roughly that it is > rational to care less about your more distant future because there is less of > you around to have it. I argue that Parfit's own version of this argument > inevitably leads to exploitability and that a (conjectured) Lewisian > amendment of it runs an uncontrollable risk of doing so. -- Li Li Tan PhD (Probationary) in Philosophy St Catharine's College _____________________________________________________ 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.
