Reports and Links

Ted Sider will be doing a discussion club talk this Friday at 4.30 in Goldwin Smith Hall. The paper is _Reducing Modality_, which sadly isn’t available on “his web page”:http://fas-philosophy.rutgers.edu/~sider/.

Daniel Nolan’s book on “David Lewis”:http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/1844650030/junius-21 has been released in the UK, though not the US. The link is to Amazon UK, which sadly I don’t have an associates account for. But you can buy the book there, and it will ship soon. The Amazon page already includes a review of the _index_, which is a whole new level of detail.

There’s a new paper on “Philosophers’ Imprint”:http://www.philosophersimprint.org/. It is Mark Schroeder’s “Realism and Reduction: the Quest for Robustness”:http://www.philosophersimprint.org/005001/.

I’m sure everyone here is reading Dave Chalmers’s blog, but if not, he has “three”:http://fragments.consc.net/djc/2005/01/soames_on_twodi.html “interesting”:http://fragments.consc.net/djc/2005/02/soames_chapter_.html “posts”:http://fragments.consc.net/djc/2005/02/soames_chapter__1.html on Scott Soames’s anti-2D book.

UPDATE: The link to Daniel’s book now goes via Chris Bertram’s charity link. Thanks Chris!

SECOND UPDATE: Daniel’s book had risen as high as 1309 in Amazon sales rankings, but has now fallen back to 1659. I was going to say advertising on TAR works, but it looks like it is a fairly short-term gain.
