2005-12-26 Quine Chat - 12-22-2005, 07:57 AM

We will have a chat session on Monday 26 December. It will be about this wek's philosophical theme:


Quine
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.
-Structuralism, Logical Positivism, Hermeneutics, Existentialism.
-Determinism and Free Will (modern views from QM Physics against Free will positivists)

I hope to see you in the chat!

Guillermo -- Philosophy Forums Moderator.
