“Whose Structure is it Anyway? Ramseyfication and the Pessimistic Meta-Induction”

You are invited to a Philosophy Seminar from the School of Humanities & Languages, a presentation by Paul Dicken, Adjunct Lecturer, UNSW Australia.

Abstract: Structural Realism has become an increasingly popular position in the contemporary philosophy of science, motivated largely in response to the Pessimistic Meta-Induction and challenge posed by the historical track-record of our scientific theories. The plausibility of the position however depends upon its related account of structure, and here increasingly large numbers of structural realists have availed themselves to a technical device known as the Ramsey Sentence.
