CFP: 'The Metaphysics of Cosmology'.
I'm organising a conference this September in Lugano on metaphysical issues arising from contemporary physical theories of cosmology and spacetime. The deadline to submit an abstract is June 7. (Funding available) philevents.org/event/show/1...
For anyone who might be interested, I’m sharing this workshop that Ratio has been organising at USI. The focus will be on metaphysical and epistemological problems in quantum mechanics. Find the plan and abstracts at the link below!

Tomorrow (Monday) I'm giving an online talk at the @bhi-harvard.bsky.social with Antonis Antoniou. We'll explore the validity of Modified Newtonian Dynamics (MOND) through the lens of limiting reduction, and discuss what MOND can teach us about limiting reduction #philsci

This morning I had the chance to speak on the Swiss radio (RSI) about free will and what physics has to say about it — a preview of tonight's public lecture in Lugano. I’ll have to tell them the hard truth about free will, and that even quantum physics can’t save us www.usi.ch/en/feeds/31056
