Dear all, This Thursday at the Serious Metaphysics Group, Dan Brigham will be presenting a talk entitled 'No Nonsense'. (Abstract below) As usual, 1.00-2.30pm at the philosophy faculty board room. Feel free to bring lunch along.
As it will be week 8 of Easter term, this should be the last SMG meeting for the academic year, but Arif Ahmed has arranged an extra meeting next Thursday (16 June) at 12pm. More details will follow in a separate email. Lastly, to Philosophy graduate students who will be in Cambridge for the next academic year, I am still looking for someone to take over running the SMG. Do let me know if you might be interested or have any questions about the role. Best wishes, Li Li -- Abstract Michael Jubien and Friederike Moltmann have recently tried to revive Bertrand Russell's multiple relation theory of judgement. Although Wittgenstein famously objected to Russell's theory on the grounds that it fails to show that it is impossible to judge nonsense, neither Jubien nor Moltmann discuss whether their own views are susceptible to the same objection. On behalf of Jubien and Moltmann, I try to show that contemporary defenders of the multiple relation theory can successfully resist Wittgenstein, regardless of whether the same can be said for Russell. -- 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.
