Norton for Everyone?
October 27 -28\, 2018 \;
Center for Philosophy of Science

University of Pittsburgh
Pittsburgh\, PA USA
Of potential interest to participants: \;On Friday\, October 26\, 3:30PM: Hasok Chang will speak in the HPS Lecture Series.
\nOur ability to make inductive inferences is what powers the success of science. But what makes such inductive inferences work? John Norton's new book manuscript\, \;The Material Theory of Induction\, develops a detailed new answer to this question\, with broad implications for the philosophy of science. This conference brings together the latest thinking about ideas in Norton's book\, beginning with an opening lecture (Friday afternoon)\, followed by a day of talks (Saturday) and a day of book-discussion seminars (Sunday).
