SUMMARY:Jean Bricmont: A Physicist Looks at Idealism and Relativism
DESCRIPTION:ABSTRACT\n\nJean Bricmont\, co-author with Alan Sokal of Intellectual Impostures: Postmodern Intellectuals’ Abuse of Science\, will share his thoughts on idealism and relativism\, from the perspective of a physicist. \nSPEAKER PROFILE\n\n \nJean Bricmont is a Belgian theoretical physicist\, philosopher of science and a professor at the Université Catholique de Louvain. He works on renormalization group and nonlinear differential equations. He is mostly known to the non-academic audience for co-authoring Fashionable Nonsense (also known as Intellectual Impostures) with Alan Sokal\, in which they criticise relativism in the philosophy of science. Jean Bricmont also collaborates with activist Noam Chomsky and campaigns on a variety of progressive causes. \nRead more about Jean Bricmont. \nEVENT VIDEO

SUMMARY:Metaphysics Within and Without Physics: Annual Philosophy of Physics Conference
DESCRIPTION:18th ANNUAL PHILOSOPHY OF PHYSICS CONFERENCE\n\nThe Rotman Institute of Philosophy will devote the 2014 International Conference in the Philosophy of Physics on the relation between science and metaphysics. More specifically\, the conference will bring together scientists and philosophers to address an important question about science and its cognitive aspirations: what is the relation between the scientific image of the world and the various metaphysical theories about its structure and content? \nCONFERENCE SPEAKERS\n\n\nJean Bricmont (Université Catholique de Louvain)\nAnjan Chakravartty (Notre Dame)\nRobert DiSalle (UWO)\nTim Maudlin (NYU)\nKerry McKenzie (UWO)\nWayne Myrvold (UWO)\nStathis Psillos (UWO)\nLaura Ruetsche (Michigan)\nJessica Wilson (Toronto)\n\nView full event details here. \nCONFERENCE PLAYLIST

SUMMARY:Causal Powers in Science: Blending Historical and Conceptual Perspectives
DESCRIPTION:2014 ROTMAN SUMMER INSTITUTE\n\nThe 2014 Institute brings together philosophers of science and metaphysicians with historians of philosophy to discuss conceptual and historical issues concerning the nature and role of causal powers in science and the prospects of the debate between the neo-Aristotelian and neo-Humean approaches to causation and laws of nature. This is a unique event in blending historical and conceptual perspectives on a central philosophical issue and its relevance to the scientific image of the world. The goal for students is to come away from the course prepared to engage the philosophical and historical literature on causal powers and their place in science at a professional level. Students will attend lectures\, participate in group discussions and present their own work. A special feature of the Institute will be specially designed ‘interactive’ sessions and round tables. Lecture topics include: powers and their place in mechanical philosophy; powers\, causation and the problem of induction; causal structuralism and dispositional essentialism; causal powers and modern science. \nKEYNOTE SPEAKERS\n\n\nBrian Ellis (La Trobe)\nHoward Sankey (Melbourne)\nWalter Ott (Virginia Tech)\n\n2014 SUMMER INSTITUTE FACULTY\n\n\nDeborah Brown (Queensland)\nLisa Downing (Ohio State)\nBenjamin Hill (Western)\nHenrik Lagerlund (Western)\nJennifer McKitrick (Nebraska-Lincoln)\nCalvin Normore (UCLA)\nStathis Psillos (Western)\nHoward Sankey (Melbourne)
