Society for Analytic Philosophy organizes a symposium on the Austere Realism (MIT Press) book, written by Terry Horgan and Matjaz Potrc, on May 25th in Ljubljana, Slovenia. If interested please contact the organizer Prof. Borut Cerkovnik (daf-drustvo@guest.arnes.si). Here is a preliminary abstract of Matjaž Potrč contribution for this event:
Blobjectivism
The idea started with blobjectivism as a monistic ontological view. Commonsense compatibility was considered an integral part of it, to be achieved by the semantic thesis construing truth as indirect correspondence. The book's more modest claim is to argue for austere realism with blobjectivism as a subspecies. Basic austere realism theses, through their dialectic development, are reviewed. Then, relation between austere realism and blobjectivism comes into focus. Finally, blobjectivism is compared to priority monism.
