Conjectures & Arguments, Philosophy & Law

Tuesday, September 1, 2015

I here defend the proposition that absolutely nothing is absolutely certain, where certainty is understood as a flat 0 or 1 as a Bayes prior.

Lawrence Crocker: My Ph.D, was from the Harvard Philosophy Department of Rawls, Putnam, Quine, Nozick, Kripke, Boyd et. al. in 1970. I taught at the University of Washington. Later with a J.D. from Duke, I clerked on the 9th Circuit, did corporate, then air crash litigation, then prosecuted in Manhattan, taught at NYU law, litigated some more, and then taught philosophy at Dartmouth, where I am now a Resident Scholar.
