Greetings all,
After our brief break, this coming Monday we have John Cusbert, ANU/
Princeton who will be talking to us about "deference at a distance".
1.00-2.30 in the philosophy common room.
abstract:
Suppose that you want to defer to the opinion of an advisor. How do
you do it? You might just mimic his/her credences; but this goes wrong
when the objects of those credences are centered. I'll propose a way
of dealing with these centering problems, so that you can defer to a
distant advisor. I'll also consider a special case: that in which the
advisor is your past or future self.
