The limits of logic: Should we embrace the irrational? |Iain McGilchrist, Beatrix Campbell, Simon Blackburn
Our culture prizes logic and rationality, if not above all else, as two of the most fundamental social traits. But are we missing out by overlooking the irrational? Can logic explain everything, or what is it missing? And is it possible to live (and enjoy) a life led by logic?Logic, in philosophy and beyond, seems to always to be self-evidently right. Join our three eminent panellists as they variously challenge this assumption and expose the holes in logic's seemingly perfect facade.

John M. Keynes and Treatise on Probability - Prof. Simon Blackburn
Abstract To introduce Keynes’s Treatise on Probability in a short time I shall emphasize its remarkable scholarship; its debt to Russell’s logicism; and its pervasive scepticism about the possibility of applying mathematics to its subject. I then briefly consider the departure from logicism due to Frank Ramsey, and Keynes’s own generous, if unconvinced, reaction to Ramsey’s criticisms. A workshop to commemorate the centenary of publication of Frank Knight’s "Risk, Uncertainty, and Profit" and John Maynard Keynes’ “A Treatise on Probability” This workshop is organised by the University of Oxford and supported by The Alan Turing Institute.

Judging people based on their music tastes has become a part of the adolescent experience, and a large part of maturing.

Simon Blackburn, “Mirror, Mirror: The Uses and Abuses of Self-Love” (Princeton UP, 2014)
At the heart of our moral thinking lies trouble with our selves. The self lies at morality’s core; selves are intimately connected to the proper objects of moral evaluation. But a common theme of moral theory is that the self, and concern with the self, is the source of much that is immoral: selfishness, greed, vanity, arrogance, envy, and so on. Many moral views that otherwise are opposed to each other seem to agree that being good requires some kind of dissociation with the self. And the transcending of the self is a central theme of our most popula...
