Philosophy for Lunch
March 1: Why the Laws of Physics Lie
11:45AM–12:45PM
Schmitt Hall, Room 104
Most of us (who are fans of science) like to think that natural laws are discovered, reveal the truth about the world, and help us predict and explain why things happen the way they do. At this P4L we'll read and discuss passages by the philosopher of science Nancy Cartwright, who argues that two of these aims, surprisingly, conflict.
