Announcements
11/01/07: Readings for
next time: the Lyons paper, the Van Fraassen chapter and the Stanford paper.
10/30/07: Bit of
confusion: the Van Fraassen link was pointing to a different piece by him, but
now it's indeed chapter 2 of the Scientific Image. Sorry.
10/27/07: Oh, and read
the Quine paper twice please.
10/25/07: It's unclear
how many times we will meet, so please read the Quine, the Mellor, the Mayr and
the Van Fraassen for next time. If you have time for three only, skip the
Mellor.
10/16/07: Some links to
the assigned papers: the Mellor paper, the Lyons paper, the Van Fraassen chapter, the Mayr
paper.
09/20/07: The (more or
less) final syllabus is above.
