Emergent Properties (2)

The topic and reading for this week is still to be determined.

Our reading for this week is: Fodor (1974) Special Sciences.

You'll find a copy in this dropbox folder.

For background you may prefer to just read some of the Stanford Encyclopedia article on the topic here: https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/properties-emergent/

If it's your first time, don't feel obligated to read anything in advance, but bring your iPad or tablet, if you have one. All are welcome, if philosophically inclined. Try to arrive early. We start the discussion at 12:15pm, exactly. Here's a little something about skepticism and something more on other philosophical topics. We are closer to Hawthorne than to Kuhn.

If the meeting is full, join the waitlist and check again on Sunday morning. You may find a spot has opened up. Also, see what meetings are coming up in the weeks ahead.
