Ted Sider - "Is Metaphysics About the Real World?" (Part 4) 

Thanks for uploading the lecture

Nice lecture, I've summarized it in Polish as one of my videos.

thank you for uploading these they were incredibly interesting :)

Good one. Thanks.

Really good lecturer. And interesting that he doesn't take positive theories of causation or personal identity (persistence) seriously. When I read Riddles of Existence, it seemed that he was writing from the standpoint of a fanatic of the opposite extreme.

Why does only physics tell us what's real? Does blameworthiness reduce to indispensable entries in whatever laws are fundamental to physics? Is teleology inherent in nature? What of the intentionality of consciousness? This is perhaps for another talk but links with the Determinism debate.
