1: Armchair Metaphysics

from The Middle of Things

In this first episode we discussed whether there is prospect for conceptual analysis in metaphysics. Rather than begin with an examination of first principles, we began in the middle of things, but after an ascent into meta-philosophy. Main reading: Frank Jackson, "Armchair Metaphysics", https://philpapers.org/rec/JACAM; Gilbert Harman, "Doubts about Conceptual Analysis", https://philpapers.org/rec/HARDAC-4.
