Theories 'n Things: October 2007

http://theoriesnthings.blogspot.com/2007_10_01_archive.html

Wednesday, October 24, 2007. London Logic and Metaphysics Forum (x-posted from MV). If you're in London on a Tuesday evening, what better to do than to take in a talk by a young philosopher on logic or metaphysics? Spotting this gap in the tourist offerings, the clever folks in the capital have set up the London Logic and Metaphysics forum. Looks an exciting programme, though I have my doubts about the joker on the 11th Dec. Tues 30 Oct: David Liggins (Manchester). Tues 27 Nov: Ofra Magidor (Oxford).

Theories 'n Things: Aristotelian indeterminacy and partial beliefs

http://theoriesnthings.blogspot.com/2008/02/aristotelian-indeterminacy-and-partial.html

Thursday, February 14, 2008. Aristotelian indeterminacy and partial beliefs. I’ve just finished a first draft of the second paper of my research leave. Title the same as this post. There’s a few different ways to think about this material, but since I hadn't posted for a while I thought I'd write up something about how it connects with/arises from some earlier concerns of mine. So let's start there. Now I’ve argued previously. To think that global supervaluational consequence is in this sense revisionary...

Theories 'n Things: March 2008

http://theoriesnthings.blogspot.com/2008_03_01_archive.html

Friday, March 28, 2008. Theories n things moves to wordpress. I've decided to follow the recent lead of others. And migrate this blog to a new wordpress site. The big appeal for me of this is added functionality- -in particular I'll be able to typeset logical notation using latex commands. Should make things prettier and easier. Hope to see people over at the new site! Links to this post. Monday, March 17, 2008. Paracompleteness and credences in contradictions. P(A) p( A)=p(Av A). And now, whenever we fa...

Theories 'n Things: Arche talks

http://theoriesnthings.blogspot.com/2008/03/arche-talks.html

Saturday, March 15, 2008. In a few weeks time (31st March-5th April) I'm going to be visiting the Arche research centre in St Andrews, and giving a series of talks. I studied at Arche for my PhD, so it'll be really good to go back and see what's going on. The talks I'm giving relate to the material on indeterminacy and probability (in particular, evidential probability or partial belief). The titles are as follows:. Indeterminacy and partial belief I: The open future and future-directed belief. But if we...

Theories 'n Things: September 2007

http://theoriesnthings.blogspot.com/2007_09_01_archive.html

Tuesday, September 18, 2007. As the next crop of PhDers gear up for the job market. I thought I’d try to systematize some info about the. System that might not be transparent to outsiders. It's not always totally transparent to insiders either, but I’m hoping that everything I say below is accurate, at least as a rule of thumb. I’d very much welcome queries, corrections and supplements. Three main categories of job that PhDers look for:. People sometimes think of these- -very roughly- -as. 8220;Fixed ter...

Theories 'n Things: December 2007

http://theoriesnthings.blogspot.com/2007_12_01_archive.html

Tuesday, December 18, 2007. Structured propositions and metasemantics. In the previous posting, I've been talking as though this direction-of-explanation was ok, and that the truth-conditions of structured propositions should have explanatory priority over the truth-conditions of sentences, so we get the neat separation into the contingent feature of linguistic representation (which struc prop a sentence latches onto) and the necessary feature (what the TCs are, given the struc prop expressed). Ok So wit...

Theories 'n Things: August 2007

http://theoriesnthings.blogspot.com/2007_08_01_archive.html

Friday, August 17, 2007. Emergence, Supervenience, and Indeterminacy. While Ross Cameron, Elizabeth Barnes and I were up in St Andrews a while back, Jonathan Schaffer presented one of his papers arguing for Monism. The view that the whole is prior to the parts, and the world is the one "fundamental" object. The sort of case that supports this is when, for example, a quantum system featuring two particles determinately has zero total spin. The issues is that there also exist systems that duplicate the...
