Bioethics Colloquium: Hanna Pickard on The Puzzle of Addiction @ NYU, rm tba

Pickard argues that it is only when the significance of negative consequences is appreciated that the puzzle of addiction comes clearly into view; and she discusses some conceptual and empirical grounds supporting scepticism about the claim that addiction can be[...]

The variety of scientism and the limits of science, Massimo Pigliucci (CUNY) 4:30 pm
The variety of scientism and the limits of science, Massimo Pigliucci (CUNY) @ NYU, rm 110
