Dear All,
You`re cordially invited to a talk by Nenad Miscevic
on
"THOUGHT EXPERIMENTS"
on Tuesday, 22. November, 5.00 pm, Z 14/room 412
Abstract
One thesis that is argued is the following:thought experiments (TEs)
cannot be reduced to arguments. Judgments immediately derived from (TEs)
are modal and taxonomic particularized judgments. Cognizers are often
better at assesing the modal and taxonomic features of a situation if it
is a particular token situation. Therefore, our immediate, intuitional
TE juddgments are probably geared to singular, concrete situations.
Arguments come after and not before Tes.
