Tour | Bushwick Graffiti and Street Art Tour


New York City is a mecca for graffiti and street art, making it a very attractive playground for artists from around the world. Bushwick, in a working class district on the north side of Brooklyn adjacent to Williamsburg, has been attracting artists for some time now. The neighborhood has a fair collection of art studios and galleries, but it’s Bushwick’s industrial landscape that’s attracting the street artist. If you came looking for 1960′s Greenwich Village, you’ll find something brewing in Bushwick.

Discussion | Climbing Ladders, Building Bridges: Mathematical Philosophy at Work


What is the proper method of philosophy? How can we get a grasp of scientific reasoning? How can we trace decision-making in a scientific community? And, how should we conceptually model bridges between different scientific theories? Many philosophers believe that philosophy is an armchair activity and that the exact methods of the natural and social sciences cannot guide philosophical research. Scientific philosophy, on the other hand, maintains that philosophical theses and arguments should be just as clear and precise as scientific ones: philosophers ought to build theories and models as much as scientists do. Join this open discussion on science, philosophy, and the relationship between them.
