Listen "Tables, Touchdowns, and Technical Terms"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode, I introduce Eddington's infamous "two tables"—his table made out of solid oak (according to sense perception and dendrology) and his table made up mostly of empty space (according to fundamental physics)—and discuss how Gilbert Ryle's dissolution of this supposed conflict between the "everyday world" and the "world of science" opens more philosophical cans of worms than it closes. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
