Philosopher Collin Rice will give a talk, "The Magic of Falsehoods: Highly Idealized Models and Scientific Realism" this Thursday, April 9, at 4 pm in Bloomsburg University's Bakeless Center for the Humanties, room 202. An assistant professor in the Philosophy Department at Lycoming College in Williamsport, Rice will be a Visiting Scholar in the University of California, Irvine's Department of Logic and Philosophy of Science this June. His areas research are the philosophy of science, the philosophy of biology, and the philosophy of mind (especially cognitive science and concepts).
Next Tuesday, April 14, philosopher Jack Call will give a talk "Thinking About Immortality" at 4 pm in BU's Centennial Hall, room 218. The author of Dreams And Resurrection: On Immortal Selves, Psychedelics, and Christianity, Call revisits several historical arguments aimed at supporting and rejecting the notion of immortality and employs the analogy of dreaming and waking as a way of conceiving a relation between everyday life and what historically has been called an “afterlife.” A short Q&A period will follow the talk. The talk is sponsored by the Philosophy Department and the College of Liberal Arts, in support of BU’s course in Philosophy of Religion (now in progress).
