<br><br><div style="word-wrap:break-word">Hi All,<div><span style="white-space:pre-wrap"> </span>Many thanks to those who joined us Friday for a lively discussion that was extremely useful for me! It was proposed at that meeting that instead of reading papers from the De Waal, Churchland, et. al. volume for the next week or two we might read some other parts of my own work, perhaps especially stuff connected to scientific realism. I am very happy to do whichever of these things people would prefer. There are two forthcoming papers I can think of that would be natural given some widespread interests around here: “Naturalism Without Scientism” (which argues, in part, that you need not be a scientific realist to be a philosophical naturalist of any sort you should want to be) and “So Long and Thanks for All the Fish: Metaphysics and the Philosophy of Science” (which is just what it sounds like). I’m also perfectly happy to look together at any of my earlier published work on the ‘problem of unconceived alternatives’ realism business, but I will be giving updates on that anyway at my talk in the Tuesday seminar series. Please just let me know if you have any preferences or further thoughts, and please accept my apologies if you’ve read this far but have no interest in any of this and/or no idea what I’m talking about—I don’t really know how wide the distribution is for these two email lists…</div>
