Herbert Hrachovec eloadasa

Kedves Kollegak, Herbert Hrachovecz eloadasat eredetileg a szombati minikonferencian tartotta volna, de ehelyett a szokott idoben, csutortokon 16:00-kor fogja. Mindenkit szeretettel varunk. Idopont: majus 30 csutortok Hely: Rakoczi ut 5, I. em 105. udv kgy Eloadaskivonat: H. Hrachovec Risking Truth. A Conversation Abstract The perennial debate concerning "Truth" is far from settled. Recently it has been revived as post-modern relativism hits the last strong-holds of Analytical Philosophy. Take the O.J.Simpson trial: Is there a truth of the matter or does it all come down to professional (miss-)use of the relevant media, as pragmatism seems to imply? Rather than tackle this question head-on a conversation is constructed. Its interlocutors hold and defend positions resembling those of Donald Davidson, Richard Rorty, Saul Kripke and Herbert Hrachovec.
