Philosophy for Lunch
October 12: Thought Experiments Under the Microscope
11:45AM–12:45PM
Schmitt Hall, Room 104
Are experiments that aren't done — or are impossible to do — legitimate tools of science? Can we really learn facts about the natural world, without without measurements or observations actually being performed? We'll read some analysis from Robert Brown to see if we can understand what thought experiments are, and how they might work.
Thursdays - 11:45AM–12:45 PM
What is P4L?
Students and professors close-read and discuss a few great passages of philosophy.
Who's invited?
No preparation or previous knowledge of philosophy is needed. Everyone is welcome!
Should I bring anything?
Bring a beverage, and if you're hungry, bring your actual lunch.
