Dear all, The next meeting of the Moral Sciences Club will be held tomorrow (24th November). We are delighted to welcome Caspar Hare (MIT), who will be giving a talk entitled 'Pleasing the Crowd Within'. The abstract for the talk is as follows:
Some metaphysicians tell us that in the near vicinity of every person there are many further person-like things, with slightly different mereological, temporal or modal properties. So, for example, in the near vicinity of David Attenborough there is Hairless David Attenborough. Hairless David Attenborough is just like David Attenborough except in this respect: David Attenborough’s hair is part of David Attenborough, but not part of Hairless David Attenborough. Suppose they are right. Does this have any bearing on what we ought to believe and do in ordinary contexts? I say it does, though not for the reasons you might think. The meeting will be held from 2:30 until 4:15 on Zoom: https:/ <https://zoom.us/j/98343588455>/zoom.us/j/98343588455 <https://zoom.us/j/98343588455> (Meeting ID: 983 4358 8455). Best wishes, Christopher, Emma, Sofía and Wouter. -- Christopher Benzenberg, Emma Curran, Sofía Meléndez-Gutiérrez and Wouter Cohen Acting Secretaries of the Moral Sciences Club Faculty of Philosophy University of Cambridge [email protected] <[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: https://lists.cam.ac.uk/pipermail/phil-events/ Please note that CamPhilEvents doesn't accept email attachments.
