But the Humean rejection of Armstrong’s account is not so straightforward.  I discuss several different ways one can understand the Humean denial of necessary connections\, and argue that there is no plausible understanding that will yield the result that Armstrong’s account – and other alleged “unHumean” accounts – employs necessary connections.  So perhaps the denial of necessary connections is not as close to the heart of the Humeanism as we sometimes think.

Yet\, it still lacks an operational framework in order for its case studies to be run effectively. And without such implementation strategy\, it will never live up to its proclaimed ambitions: Changing people’s minds and the narratives that shape our world so as to make tangible differences in the face of the big issues of our times. The rationale for the EMFACE Project is to overcome this applied knowledge gap. Its overall goal is to make conceptual engineering an effective tool to achieve real-world changes with measurable impact. This talk outlines the EMFACE Project with a focus on its theoretical and applied objectives. \n\nZoom meeting ID: 857 3025 53 80\nZoom password: ACEW20 (Invite link) URL:/philevents/event/conceptual-engineering-seminar-tba-14/ LOCATION:A virtual seminar by Zoom\, The University\, 58Թ\, KY16 9L\, United Kingdom CATEGORIES:Conceptual Engineering Seminar END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20201217T100000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20201217T120000 DTSTAMP:20201217T174615Z CREATED:20200819T112955Z LAST-MODIFIED:20201217T174615Z UID:10001100-1608199200-1608206400@www.st-andrews.ac.uk SUMMARY:Super Special Seminar tba DESCRIPTION: URL:/philevents/event/super-special-seminar-tba-18/ LOCATION:A virtual seminar by Zoom\, The University\, 58Թ\, KY16 9L\, United Kingdom CATEGORIES:Super Special Seminar series END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20201217T130000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20201217T143000 DTSTAMP:20201217T174615Z CREATED:20200819T112955Z LAST-MODIFIED:20201217T174615Z UID:10001101-1608210000-1608215400@www.st-andrews.ac.uk SUMMARY:Epistemology Seminar — no seminar (enjoy the break) DESCRIPTION: URL:/philevents/event/epistemology-seminar-tba-13/ LOCATION:A virtual seminar by Zoom\, The University\, 58Թ\, KY16 9L\, United Kingdom CATEGORIES:Epistemology Seminar END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20201218T101500 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20201218T114500 DTSTAMP:20201218T174705Z CREATED:20200819T112956Z LAST-MODIFIED:20201218T174705Z UID:10001102-1608286500-1608291900@www.st-andrews.ac.uk SUMMARY:Medieval Logic Seminar: John Dumbleton on Insolubles DESCRIPTION: URL:/philevents/event/medieval-logic-seminar-tba-14/ LOCATION:A virtual seminar by Zoom\, The University\, 58Թ\, KY16 9L\, United Kingdom CATEGORIES:Medieval Logic Research Group END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
