The weekly topic is posted a week before the event, together with a suggested reading from my work The Pursuit of Value, available through Amazon Books or myself.

THIS WEEK: The question of knowledge is a longstanding philosophical problem, emphasized by Descartes, that took a new turn with John Locke’s distinction between primary and secondary qualities, as well as with Immanuel Kant’s constructivist account of space and time. Then and now, we are beginning to ask the question; to what extent do mind and consciousness contribute to our perception of reality? This is part of the classic nominalist-realist debate. Is our perception of reality subjectively produced, is it completely objective, or are there more plausible intermediate positions? Reading: The Pursuit of Value, Ch. 6, Scn. xi.
