The Relevance of Wittgenstein's Philosophy of Psychology for the Psychological Sciences February 13, 2008

All talks take place on a Wednesday around 15:15, in the Brinkman Room, Heythrop College. There will be a nice cup of tea, and possibly some biscuits if you arrive on time.

About the speaker: http://www.philoso.co.uk/hacker.html
PMS Hacker, or Peter to his friends, is a born Londoner who went to read Philosophy at Oxford, studying as a graduate under H. L. A. Hart - the hugely influential legal philosopher. His principal expertise is in the philosophy of mind and philosophy of language, where he takes an uncompromising Wittgenstinian stance. For those of you interested in the hopes for a philosophy-phychology alliance, Hacker is also well known as an outspoken critic of neuroscience-based philosophy.
