Next Philosophy of Physics Reading Group Meeting: 28 Oct.

[Fletcher, Samuel]

Dear Colleagues,

Our next meeting will run from 14:15-16:00 on the date indicated.  Erik 
Curiel will lead discussion on the first three sections of J. 
Butterfield's manuscript, "Between Laws and Models: Some Philosophical 
Morals of Lagrangian Mechanics."  You can find the most up-to-date 
version of it on the Pitt PhilSci Archive 
(http://philsci-archive.pitt.edu/1937/) or on the arXiv 
(http://arxiv.org/abs/physics/0409030).

As a reminder, here is the schedule of meetings we (tentatively) agreed 
upon for the rest of the term: 28 Oct, 11 Nov, 25 Nov, 16 Dec, 13 Jan, 
27 Jan.

For those who were not able to be present for the first meeting on 
Tuesday, I've attached a document with a list of possible topics we can 
cover.  When we finish #4 (which is just the above manuscript by 
Butterfield), we'll vote on the next one.  Also for those folks: please 
leave a bit of extra time to reach the seminar room, E341 in the main 
university building.  The only entrance is from a special door 
accessible from the southern courtyard, which leads to a large 
stairwell.  (The door is marked for E341.)  One then reaches the room 
only after many flights of stairs.  I'm sorry for the inconvenient 
location, but unfortunately it was the only room nearby available at our 
requested time.

Best wishes,
~Sam
