paper topics and readings

One of the paper topics was to explore one of Psets 7-9 in more depth. You could do this for any of the psets from 7 onwards. There is no need to do a great deal of reading, it is more important to think about the topic for yourself, although let me know if you want some pointers on things to read if you're interested. For those curious about Dr. Evil I've posted Adam Elga's "Defeating Dr. Evil with Self locating belief". About the coin puzzle with the P ~P labels I've posted R. White 'Evidential Symmetr and mush credence'. I'll talk more about this and the Strevens on Thursday.

btw, more on Dr Evil's adventures are found here
