Study Questions Updated + Finals Week Office Hours

I have just now updated the study questions for the final exam by removing questions #10 and #11.

My office hours for finals week will be:

M 10:10 am - Noon
T 10:10 am - 11:00 am
W 10:10 am -11:00 am

Preparing for Wed 7 Mar

On Wed 7 Mar, we will finish our discussion of Taylor and dedicate some time toward a review that will help you prepare for the final exam. To this end, please be sure to download, read carefully, and think about the Final Exam Study questions that are now posted on PolyLearn.

If you have a response paper due, you must write on the Putnam article "Objectivity and the Science/Ethics Dinstinction."

Preparing for Mon 5 Mar

Because I missed class last Wednesday, on Mon 5 Mar we will cover the material for that class (see previous post). Having now read all your response papers, I will begin our discussions tomorrow by reviewing some important details of the difference between Kitcher and van Fraassen before moving our discussion to the views of Boyd and Taylor.
