Description

The Meta-reading group (or meta-group) is a reading group concerned with meta-philosophical topics, such as meta-ethics, meta-epistemology, meta-metaphysics, meta-philosophy of language, etc. The group likes to read the most recent works on such topics (sometimes even work still in progress). Everyone is welcome. All inquiries about this group should be directed to Sebastian Köhler or Robin McKenna. The group meets regularly on Thursdays 4.30 pm in DSB 1.01.

Reading for 2011-12

In semester 2 we will read Allan Gibbard's book (still in progress) Thoughts and Oughts, which is concerned with meta-questions regarding the philosophy of language. In the first semester we read John MacFarlane's book (still in progress) Assessment Relativity: Relative Truth and its Applications.

Previous readings

The Meta-group was founded in the academic year 2010-11. We started the reading group with reading Terence Cuneo's meta-epistemological book The Normative Web (Oxford University Press, 2007) in the first semester. We read selected papers on meta-metaphysics from the collection Metametaphysics, (eds.) D.J. Chalmers, D. Manley & R. Wasserman (Oxford University Press 2009) in the second semester.
