Dear all, A reminder that today Bart Streumer (Groningen) will be giving a paper entitled “Reduction without supervenience” (abstract below) at the Serious Metaphysics Group.
As usual, the seminar will run from 4.30 to 6.00pm in the Philosophy Faculty Board Room. Hope to see you there, Carlo Abstract: According to non-reductive realism, there are irreducibly normative properties. There is a well-known argument against this view that appeals to the following claim about supervenience: for all possible worlds W and W*, if the instantiation of descriptive properties in W and W* is exactly the same, then the instantiation of normative properties in W and W* is also exactly the same. Some non-reductive realists try to resist this argument by rejecting this claim about supervenience. In this talk, I give a very similar argument against their view that does not appeal to any claim about supervenience. _____________________________________________________ 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.
