Lecture:

Metaphysics First: Explanatory Priority in Philosophy
Peacocke will offer arguments that the metaphysics of a domain is more fundamental in the order of philosophical explanation than the theory of intentional contents concerning that domain, or the theory of meaning for language about that domain. He will illustrate and elaborate this explanatory priority, contrast it with some other leading views, and explore its consequences for some classical large-scale philosophical issues.

Time: 7:30 pm
Location: Ukrainian Institute of America / Concert Hall
