The Science of Can and Can't - Chapter 4
The William Morris, 2-4 King Street W6 0DZ, London, GBThis week we'll discuss the fourth chapter of The Science of Can and Can't, by Chiara Marletto, co-developer of Constructor Theory alongside David Deutsch.
A big theme of the book is counterfactuals - statements about what could happen, not just what does happen. Chiara argues that science has historically struggled to incorporate these rigorously, even though they’re central to explanations, computation, biology, knowledge, and agency.
If this is your first time attending we meet in the William Morris pub in Hammersmith - look for people with copies of the book.
Please read the chapter before attending.
