Philosophy Department seminar - Tuesday March 6, 11am-1pm
The next Philosophy Department seminar will be held on Tuesday March 6, 11am-1pm, in Room 107, W6A
PROF MARK COLYVAN (School of Philosophical and Historical Inquiry, University of Sydney) will present a paper entitled "What Is the Principle of Uniform Solution and Why Should We Buy It?"
Abstract: In philosophy of logic and elsewhere, it is generally thought that similar problems should be solved by similar means. This advice is sometimes elevated to the status of a principle: the principle of uniform solution. In this paper I will explore the question of what counts as a similar problem and consider reasons for subscribing to the principle of uniform solution.
