Dear all, This term the Serious Metaphysics Group will start on Wednesday the 24th of January at 4.30-6.00pm in the Philosophy Faculty Board Room.
Tim Button (St John's) will be giving a paper entitled “A Dogma of Metaphysics” (abstract below). You could have a look for the rest of the Lent term card here: http://www.phil.cam.ac.uk/seminars-phil/SMG Hope to see you there, Carlo A Dogma of Metaphysics: Many contemporary metaphysics embrace the following dogma. ***There is a uniquely best fundamental theory of the world. The grammar of this theory is familiar to us: regular first-order logic (or perhaps some extension of it). The fundamental ontology is provided via the theory's first-order entities. The fundamental ideology is provided via the theory's primitive predicates (and perhaps other aspects of the theory's vocabulary).*** But we can, and should, reject this dogma. _____________________________________________________ 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.
