Philosophy for Lunch
April 6 - Darwin on Scientific Evidence
Join us for a discussion in the Philosophy of Science. — Darwin was very aware of how controversial and how fundamental his theory of speciation was – he had delayed publication of his work for twenty years! He not only took special care to lay out the evidence for his theory (that's the scientific element of his work) but to also argue for how we should see it working as evidence in ways we might not immediately appreciate. We'll read selections from The Origin of Species, to explore how Darwin thought we ought to understand the vast variety of observations he marshalled to support evolution.
Thursdays - 11:45–12:45 PM
Schmitt Hall, room 242 (the Philosophy department seminar room)
