The MLE (metaphysics, language, & epistemology)
Seminar will meet on Fridays, 2-4pm in the Ryle Room, Philosophy Sub-faculty.
D.Phils, B.Phils, Post-docs, and Faculty are encouraged to attend.
All readings for the seminar will be available via the MLE seminar

The MLE Seminar now has an experimental blog!
Each week, we aim to post the handout and a summary of the discussions.
Hopefully in some weeks we'll be able to continue discussion in the
comments threads if we run out of time in the seminar itself.
