REAM #58: Genetics, Biosocial Groups & the Future of Identity
Details
Join us for the last meetup this year!
We are closing the year with philosophy of identity. Who are we, how we decide who we are, and how others decide who we are. I came across Ian Hacking when reading the preface for the Thomas Kuhn book "The structure of scientific revolutions". I really like the way we wrote that preface. It was an incredibly easy read. To quote one of his fans writing to Hacking: "You write just how my third grade teacher told me to write: never use a 10 cent word when a 3 cent word would do."
