‘What If’ meets ‘CLDE’
This workshop provides an opportunity to develop connections between two DFG Research Units, the “What If?” unit and the “Causation, Laws, Dispositions, Explanation” (CLDE) unit. Three members from each group will present a paper, which will then receive a commentary by a member of the other group.
The workshop takes place on Friday, May 1 and Saturday, May 2, 2015 at the Bischofsvilla in Konstanz.
For further information and registration, please get in touch with Brian Leahy (brian.leahy AT uni-konstanz.de).
