SUMMARY:How Berkeley Can Go Quasi and Lose His Mind-Dependence
DESCRIPTION:<p>Host: Harvard Department of Philosophy, Colloquium Lecture</p><p>Speaker: <span>Bart Streumer (University of Groningen)</span></p><hr><p><span><strong>Abstract:</strong> Berkeley defends idealism partly by taking ordinary objects such as tables and stones to consist of ideas. Materialists reject this account of ordinary objects. I argue that Berkeley can undermine this rejection by making quasi-realist moves of the kind that many expressivists about normativity make. This ultimately results in a version of idealism that we cannot believe, since trying to believe it will make us believe materialism. But I argue that this version of idealism may nevertheless be true.</span></p><p><a href="https://philosophy.fas.harvard.edu/event/colloquium-lecture-bart-streumer-university-groningen-how-berkeley-can-go-quasi-and-lose-his"><span>More information</span></a></p>
