Dear all, This is to remind you that next meeting of the Moral Sciences Club will be held tomorrow, Tuesday 20th November. We are delighted to welcome Professor Angelika Kratzer (Amherst), who will be giving a paper entitled 'What’s an Epistemic Modal Anyway'. The abstract is as follows:
*Epistemic modals like English “might” have a special place in contemporary > philosophy. They seem to give rise to distinctive puzzles and are therefore > considered to be “semantically distinctive in ways that set them apart from > other modals in significant respects” (Yalcin 2016). I will argue for a > unified semantics for epistemic and non-epistemic modals that projects > modal domains from pieces of reality in a completely uniform way.* > The meeting will be held from 2:30 until 4:15 in the Jane Harrison Room at Newnham College, and will be followed by tea and coffee. *If you would like to have dinner with the speake*r in the evening following the talk at the Moral Sciences Club, *please email the secretaries of the **club ([email protected] <[email protected]>**) by 2pm on Monday.* This dinner is open to anyone who has attended the talk and it will take place in the evening at a location to be determined (those who sign up for dinner will be notified of the details by email closer to the time). Best, -- Annie Bosse, Benjamin Marschall and Lucy McDonald Secretaries of the Moral Sciences Club Faculty of Philosophy University of Cambridge [email protected] http://www.phil.cam.ac.uk/seminars-phil/seminars-msc _____________________________________________________ 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.
