Next Philosophy of Physics Reading Group Meeting: 28 Oct.

[Michael Stoeltzner]

Great. Actually I have the honor to be one of the editors of that 
extended manuscript. so it is NOT unpublished.
It appeared in M. Stoeltzner, P. Weingartner (eds.), Formal Teleology 
and Causality in Physics, Paderborn: Mentis 2004.
And I am really sorry that I have to be in Wuppertal for the final 
meeting in setting up a DFG Forschergruppe.
