past BAPS meeting Oct 29, 2009

Helen Longino and Branden Fitelson presented on the topic of Evidence from two different perspectives,

Helen and Branden have posted their papers for the Oct 29 BAPS (6 to 8 pm) meeting on the following web-page:

Branden recommended that of his papers, his #1 paper should be read first (viz., the "Wason" paper), but the #2 paper (the "grue" paper) also provides good background, and wrote that Helen's #1 and #2 are also in a good order for reading (the first one being broader and more over-arching, and the second being more focused on a particular sort of "case study" of scientific evidence).

Directions to our location on the SFSU campus can be found on a separate page at this website.
