Next up at the Cambridge Realist Workshop on Monday March 5th it is:

Party Time!!!

Not only will there be the usual (free) wine etc from 7:30pm onwards, but food as well.

The occasion is the Cambridge Launch of the Routledge book :

Contributions to Social Ontology

edited by Clive Lawson, John Latsis and Nuno Martins.

All
three of the editors will be present, as will be many of the
contributors……and as will be copies of the book for sale at
drastically reduced prices.

The event is intended to  be a fairly relaxed affair with wine and light food and plenty of time to chat and catch up.

The
academic part of the meeting, lead by Clive Lawson, will involve a
discussion  of the main themes and implications of the book -
especially as regards the relationship between Philosophy and Social
Science

The first chapter of the book is attached as background reading.

The
talk  itself is due to start at 8.00 (with refreshment etc from 7:30)
 but it is not intended that the ‘formal’ discussion will take up the
whole evening.

NB the programme for the term and directions to the seminar room in which we meet can be obtained from the following site:

Best regards
