UPD-Cambridge Philosophy Lecture Series โ€“ Day 2

Posted on by

Prof. Alex David Carter, PhD. on โ€œWittgenstein and Post-Truthโ€
Day 2 of the UPD-Cambridge Lecture Series
April 9, 2024 (4PM-6PM) โ€“ online via ZOOM and Facebook livestream

 

Abstract:

In this talk, Alex Carter, Ph.D. introduces a Wittgensteinian Analysis of Post-Truth: as a Cynical Appeal to Non-Rationality. Starting with a rejection of the claim that Post-Truth is “mere lying”, Alex consideres Harry Frankfurt’s (1984) prescient discussion of “bullshit”. Alex goes on to consider a potential defense of Post-Truth practices in Wittgenstein’s claim that “explanations come to an end somewhere”. However, Alex concludes that Wittgenstein’s account of non-rationality does not permit explanations being brought to an end anywhere.

Posted on by

Prof. Milena Ivanova, PhD. on “The Aesthetics of Science”
Day 1 of the UPD-Cambridge Lecture Series
April 8, 2024 (4PM-6PM) – online via ZOOM and Facebook livestream

 

Abstract:

Many aspects of Science are considered beautiful: theories, models, experiments, images, explanations. But what is the role and function of beauty in Science and how does it affect scientific pursuits? In this talk, Milena Ivanova, Ph.D. discusses the diverse roles of aesthetic values in scientific practice by appealing to historical case studies as well as qualitative data collected from interviews with contemporary scientists and shows why Beauty matters on the daily lives of scientists.
