SUMMARY:Language\, Epistemology\, Metaphysics\, and Mind Research Interest Group Talk (Aaron Segal\, Hebrew University of Jerusalem)
DESCRIPTION:The Language\, Epistemology\, Metaphysics\, and Mind Research Group welcomes Aaron Segal\, a faculty member in the Department of Philosophy at Hebrew University of Jerusalem. Dr. Segal works in the areas of metaphysics and philosophy of religion. \nJoin the meeting: \nhttps://utoronto.zoom.us/j/81547581491\n\n\nTalk Title\nAn Analytic Vindication of Idealism \nTalk Abstract\nOne of the hallmarks of nineteenth-century idealism\, which distinguished it sharply from analytic philosophy through much of the twentieth century\, was the insistence that metaphysics is intrinsically systematic\, and that as a methodological consequence\, we cannot properly do metaphysics in a piecemeal fashion. \nAfter making the notion of intrinsic systematicity much more precise\, I argue that at least in this regard the idealists have at long last been vindicated.  The trajectory of analytic metaphysics over the past half century\, together with very plausible meta-metaphysical reflections on that trajectory\, strongly suggest that the idealists were right after all. \nThe practical upshot for contemporary analytic metaphysicians is this: if metaphysics can be properly done at all\, it can’t be properly done in the way most everyone has been doing it. \nAbout the Language\, Epistemology\, Metaphysics and Mind Research Group\nOne of six departmental research interest groups\, the Language\, Epistemology\, Metaphysics and Mind Group undertakes research in philosophy of mind\, philosophy of cognitive science\, traditional and formal epistemology\, metaphysics\, and philosophy of language.

SUMMARY:Logic and Philosophy of Science Group Talk (Nina Emery\, Mount Holyoke)
DESCRIPTION:The Logic and Philosophy of Science Group is pleased to welcome guest speaker Nina Emery\, an assistant professor in the Department of Philosophy at Mount Holyoke College. Dr. Emery’s research focuses on the intersection of metaphysics and the philosophy of physics. She has a particular interest in the question of how and to what extent our best scientific theories\, especially quantum mechanics and relativity theory\, should inform our understanding of time\, probability\, and the laws of nature. She also works on the question of how and to what extent standard scientific practice relies on appeals to extra-empirical theoretical virtues such as simplicity and explanatory power. Her other interests include the philosophy of language\, the philosophy of religion\, epistemology\, and applied ethics. \nJoin Zoom meeting: \nhttps://utoronto.zoom.us/j/89147592627 \nTalk Title\nThe Governing Conception of the Wavefunction \nTalk Abstract\nThe central question of quantum ontology is: What does the wavefunction represent? In this paper I argue that the wavefunction plays two important explanatory roles with respect to the behavior of quantum systems\, and that this fact places significant constraints on any plausible account of what the wavefunction represents. NB: This talk will be non-technical\, and no prior experience with quantum physics is required. \nAbout the Logic and Philosophy of Science Group\nOne of six departmental Research Interest Groups\, the Logic and Philosophy of Science Group hosts talks on logic\, general philosophy of science\, and philosophy of the particular sciences\, as well as talks in allied areas such as formal epistemology\, decision theory\, and the metaphysics of science.
