And Related Contemporary Philosophy

The time will be 6:30 pm GMT+1 (Madrid, Copenhagen, Paris, Brussels, Frankfurt). You can use the timezone converter to convert to your local time. Once there, enter the day and time as specified above, then select US/Central in the "From Time Zone" column and your own location in the "To Time Zone" column, then click Convert. Be sure and unclick the "Use Current Date/Time" option. This will give you the time of the chat meeting in your own local time.

Some things that could be discussed in the chat are:

-Analytic and Synthetic Truths Distinction (and Quine's Rejection of it).

-The indeterminacy of Translation.

-Relationship between the Mind, the Word, the Meaning, and the Object.

I hope to see you in the chat!
