This coming Current Projects seminar will be James Norton giving the following paper:

Grounding: it's (probably) all in the head
In this paper we provide a psychological explanation for ‘grounding observations’—observations that are thought to provide evidence that there exists a relation of ground. Our explanation does not appeal to the presence of any such relation. Instead, it appeals to certain evolved cognitive mechanisms, along with the traditional modal relations of supervenience, necessitation and entailment.


As usual, papers are in the Muniment room on Thursday at 3.00.
