Dear all,
This Thursday (Oct 13) at the Serious Metaphysics Group, Natalja Deng will be speaking on 'Does temporal ontology exist?' (abstract below.) The talk will be at 1.00-2.30pm, at the Philosophy faculty board room. For the rest of the Michaelmas term card, please do have a look here: http://www.phil.cam.ac.uk/seminars-phil/SMG [1] Best wishes, Li Li ABSTRACT The main aim of this talk is a modest one, though one in the spirit of skeptical views about temporal ontology: it's to motivate the title question, i.e. to show that there is an open question about what's at stake in temporal ontology. That aim is pursued indirectly, via an examination of elucidation attempts by Ted Sider, Christian Wuethrich, and Tom Stoneham. I also explore a link to normative views about how we should relate to time, which gives rise not to a candidate interpretation, but to a possible re-orientation of the debate. -- Li Li Tan PhD Candidate in Philosophy St Catharine's College Links: ------ [1] http://www.phil.cam.ac.uk/seminars-phil/SMG _____________________________________________________ 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.
