Hi Michael, Aren't you thinking of "Some Aspects of Modality in Analytical Mechanics"? That is listed under topic #10, but it's not what we're reading for the next meeting. Best, ~Sam On Fri, Oct 17, 2014 at 2:28 PM, Michael Stoeltzner <stoeltzn@mailbox.sc.edu

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 so it is NOT unpublished.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.

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
