Jim Fahey faheyj2@rpi.edu My focus areas include Metaphysics, Philosophy of Science, Epistemology, Philosophy of Logic. I am currently working on the following papers: "The Dogma of Eternalism," "Miracles and Laws of Nature: Reply to Everitt," and "Change: What's New?" Is it proper to say of reality itself, that it is somehow ongoing, that it exhibits some kind of genuine change? Or should we view reality as being something that is there all at once, a something that just is? I opt for a reality that is not static but rather dynamic or ampliative. I adopt this view as, what Peirce might call, a "regulative hope." That is , I adopt it on the basis that a card player plays for that improbable distribution of cards that allows for any chance of winning. In my work I aim at constructing a consistent ampliative view of reality. |
