Hopefully now that the semester is winding down for most of us, the blog will enjoy a bit more activity. Dan Korman, of course, will be busy defending his dissertation and preparing for his new job. (Belated congratulations, Dan!) Dave Barnett is busy watching cats and making movies, so it might be hard to coax him out into the blogosphere. But the rest of you have no excuse...!
I am off for the Linguistics & Epistemology conference at the University of Aberdeen (organized by Martijn Blauw). It looks like an interesting group of papers. My talk is on temporal stability as an irreducible component of knowledge (here is a detailed hand-out). I am very interested in the concluding suggestion that stability is an emergent property and that emergent properties are (in Humphrey's terminology) fusions of the components.
After Aberdeen, I am heading to Vancouver for the 35th Annual Meeting of the Society of Exact Philosophy. I haven't put together a hand out for this one yet, by my conservatism paper is here.
I am hoping to do a bit of conference blogging, especially at Aberdeen. But we'll see.
Cheers, Marc
See you in Vancouver!
