This week we are reading Philosophical Progress by Daniel Stoljar. Lewis will be leading us on this journey. See below for his comments:
Hi all,
Let’s check out Stoljar’s book on progress next week. (The Trout and Goldberg books wouldn’t have been good for us). S’s book is very clear & accessible, but still says some important things.
Chapters 3 and 5 contain the positive arguments, and parts of both chapters can be skipped once you appreciate the general idea. If we read chs 3 and 5 (together, the same length as a long paper), we’ll have taken care of the main idea of the book in a week.
There’s lots of other interesting material in the book too, but since I’ve read it I can quickly go over his assumptions etc when we meet.
