Time, Tense and the 'Indexical Fallacy' in McTaggart's Argument
The tenser-detenser debate has got impetus from the new indexical, token
reflexive analysis of tensed
language which renders the truth conditions of tensed sentences in
tenseless terms. According to
detensers like Mellor and Poidevin what Taggart's argument shows is
that the A-series account of time is a misconstrual leading to regress.
Tenser E.J. Lowe, however, argues that the A-regress cannot even have a
start since it rests on the indexical fallacy of using compound tenses.
His claim, roughly, is that temporal indexicals just like any other
indexicals cannot be iterated without violating the contextual
constraints on the use, as opposed to the mention, of indexicals.
Further, Lowe claims that extending Taggart's fallacious argument to
space and personality one could equally argue for the irreality of
places and persons.
I will show that Lowe's argument is incoherent. When introducing the
indexical fallacy he makes appeal
to the analogy between temporal and other indexicals. But when he
defends the tensed view he makes
appeal to Taggart's first two premises ( 1. time involves change
essentially; 2.change can be explained
only in terms of the A-series) which invite a disanalogy between
temporal and other indexicals. So, the
indexical fallacy cannot be repeated, pace Lowe, for space and person
within the context of McTaggart's argument. Consequently, the threat of
the irreality of places and persons does not arise along taggartian
lines.
The other conclusion with broader implications is that even the
indexical analysis shows the specific
metaphysical character of time in consonance with the metaphysical
tradition.

Program - JUNE

It seems, many of the usual participants of the seminar will be abroad
in the first week of June (Bled, Ringberg, etc.). So, there is no
lecture scheduled for this Monday!

Epistemology Engines
The history of science is filled with important theories and discoveries
based upon observations of technologies, for example, thermodynamics
comes from the steam engine as historians claim. I shall examine
several cases of lifeworld practices which relate to scientific
developments, including cannon warfare and ballistics, railway schedules
and clocks for special relativity, etc. But the focus will be upon
technologies which become explicit models for knowledge production. In
the first case, I shall examine the role of the camera obscura for early
modern epistemology and then the 'return of the book of life' for
contemporary epistemology.

David Lewis formulated a principle (he calls it "the Principal
Principle") that he claims tells how chances (and beliefs concerning
chances) should guide belief. The principle is that if the chance at t
of A's occurring is x then your credence at that A will occur should be
x as long as you don't possess any inadmissible information. The
principle is intuitive and explains a lot of statistical practice.
However Lewis thinks it is incompatible with his favorite theory of the
nature of chance and more generally with a metaphysical doctrine called
"Humean Supervenience." I argue that Lewis is mistaken about this.
Further more I show that while there can be no "justification" of the
principle that shows that following it will lead to successful results
one can provide a kind of "rationale" for the principle based on Lewis'
account of the nature of chance.
