TZID:Europe/Berlin
LOCATION:Cologne\, Germany
DESCRIPTION:<p>The Emmy Noether research group "Understanding and the A Priori" is hosting an author-meets-critics workshop with David Chalmers to critically discuss themes from his new book\, "Constructing the World" (Oxford University Press 2012). The book concerns "scrutability\," the thesis that all the truths about the world can\, in principle\, be known on the basis of knowledge of just a limited class of basic truths. Chalmers argues for the scrutability thesis and investigates which sorts of basic truths can serve as the relevant "scrutability base". The book explores the implications of scrutability for a range of central philosophical issues: meaning and mental content\, the existence of the analytic and the a priori\, the refutation of skepticism\, and the methodology of metaphysics\, among others.</p>\n<p>Questions about the workshop can be directed to:&nbsp\;fkreitlo@smail.uni-koeln.de.</p>
