The Abstract of the Talk:
I consider and offer replies to lines of thought in
support of some form of metaphysical skepticism, according to which
metaphysical claims---e.g., the claim that universals serve as the basis for
resemblance between objects, or that sets necessarily exist---are meaningless,
false, epistemically inaccessible, or at best pragmatically accepted.
The talk is part of the Lugano
Philosophy Colloquia - a series of events organized by:
- Master in Philosophy at USI
- Ratio – Philosophical Association
- Istituto di Studi Filosofici,
Lugano
We look forward to your presence! Thank
you.
