<p>We’ll discuss Fine’s paper this Friday. Try to also read Sider, Ch 11 and poke around in some of the others parts of Sider’s book. In particular, if you want to talk a lot about Fine’s reality operator, you should read Sider, Ch 8.</p>

<p>For Tuesday, 1/26, read Smart 1949, “The River of Time” and the three articles by Schlesinger. I realize this is too much. At a minimum, you should read Smart 1949 and Schlesinger 1969.</p>
