Winter Term 2014/5 Philosophy of Physics Reading Group

Dear Colleagues (with apologies for cross-posting), The philosophy of physics reading group in the winter term will meet biweekly on Tuesdays, starting 14 October, from 14:00-16:00, in E341 of the main university building: https://lsf.verwaltung.uni-muenchen.de/qisserver/rds?state=verpublish&status... . We will focus on topics in the foundations of classical mechanics, especially different formulations of classical mechanics, their interrelations, and their physical and metaphysical presuppositions. As convener, I will send out a tentative syllabus around 7 October. Until then, potentially interested participants are encouraged to suggest stimulating papers. Best wishes, Sam Fletcher
