Reading Group: Inconsistency in Physics

[Dardashti, Radin]

Dear all,

our philosophy of physics reading group continues with the topic 
"Inconsistency in Physics".
We explore questions like: What role does consistency play in physics? 
What is actually meant with consistency in physical theories and are 
there different kinds of inconsistencies?
The reading group aims to explore these and other related debates by 
discussing the literature on this topic while also having discussion 
sessions on some of the specific questions.

The group holds usually bi-weekly meetings throughout the academic term 
and is open to all.

Starting date: Tuesday, 10 November, 2015, 11am c.t. (after the first 
session 6pm)
Room: Ludwigstr. 31, room 126

The reading for our first session is:
- Mathias Frisch: "Inconsistency, Asymmetry, and Non-Locality: A 
Philosophical Investigation of Classical Electrodynamics", chapter 2.
- Peter Vickers:  "Understanding Inconsistent Science", chapter 4.

Mathias Frisch will be attending the first meeting of the group.

Please email me, if you want to participate in the reading group so I 
can forward you the reading.

Best wishes,
Radin
