Dear all: The Philosophy and History of Physics Reading Group will meet as usual on Tuesdays at 4.30 till 6.00 pm, starting next Tuesday 13 October; on Zoom, of course.
We will spend the first five weeks reading Neil Dewar's draft book, Structure and Equivalence, which is about the individuation of (criteria of identity for) physical theories: which has recently been a hot topic in philosophy of physics. The book is pedagogic, with illustrations from Newtonian mechanics and electromagnetism. It will also interest philosophers of logic and mathematics. At the first session, Tuesday 13 October, Butterfield will introduce the book, and its issues. In the following four sessions, we will read successively the four parts of the book (each is about 25 pages). From the second session (20 October), we will be joined by Neil Dewar himself.
