Hello;
My name is Chris Peck, this is my joining post. I have not seen anyone
elses, so im not entirely sure what's expected.
I have Ba in Philosophy from University College London, and an MSc in IT
from the same institution.
Im interested in philosophy of science - particularly the dispute between
Popper, Feyerabend, Lakatos etc; philosophy of mind; of language; logical
theory; personal identity and have recently become quite interested in
possible world theory through the writings of Plantinga, Stalnaker and so
on.
I think my favorite philosophical quote, indeed my guiding principle if you
like, comes from 'Naming and Necessity' by Saul Kripke, it goes:
'Some philosophers think that something's having intuitive content is very
inconclusive evidence in favor of it. I think that it is very heavy evidence
in favor of anything myself. I really don't know, in a way, what more
conclusive evidence one can have about anything, ultimately speaking.'
Chris.
