Information
Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung
This course will revolve around the following question: "What does it mean for two theories to be equivalent?". This question will be explored with reference to a number of ontological disputes (about material objects, persistence through time, the nature of time, etc.). Our discussion will focus on, among other things, inter-translatability, logical entailment, empirical equivalence, and theoretical virtues. The seminar's readings will consist of recent research articles by contemporary analytic philosophers.
