Deviant Hinge Epistemology and Epistemic Angst

La sfârșitul săptămânii trecute am participat la Topics in Analytic Philosophy 3 cu o conferință cu acest titlu. Slide-urile se găsesc aici.

Un draft al textului pe baza căruia mi-am susținut prezentarea se găsește aici:
Deviant Hinge Epistemology and Epistemic Angst – second draft

Cercetari filosofice 111

Am scris asta inițial pe Facebook, dar m-am gândit să o păstrez și aici.

O lectura

Dupa vreo doi ani si jumatate, timp in care aproape am uitat de site-ul respectiv, am redescoperit din intamplare asta. Nu fac altceva decat sa citesc traducerea romaneasca a Conferintei despre etica a lui Wittgenstein, folosind si slide-uri. Ceea ce ma interesa era sa vad cum ar putea functiona un sistem de a realiza prezentari online.
