94th Session of the Philosophical Foundations of Law and Finance

Dear All

In the 94th Session of the Philosophical Foundations of Law and Finance (Friday, Dec 2, 2011, 18:00 - 20:00, room 516, University of Westminster, 309 Regent Street, London), we will explore the concept of the "Invariance of Default." We shall examine the concept of "Invariance of default" using first Aristotle's theory of knowledge, i.e. predication as universals and universals as models of general precise reasoning. Then, we shall explore the concept of Invariance of Default in terms of a slightly modified Cheng-Lauda (2004) heuristic strategy of (1) Ideal, (2) Ideological Interpretations of the Ideal and (3) Technical Realisations of the Ideal. To this heuristic, we add the Nullity as a necessary element that allows the theory of the Invariance of Default to be transformed into a monoid, and as a monoid become a model for an Algebra of Law and Finance. I know this all sounds like abstract nonsense. It's at this point where we start making bets...afterwards for a drink and TEXMEX at Texas Embassy across the street from No 1 Pall Mall, near the Sainsbury wing of the National Museum...from say 8:30pm. BTW TEXMEX if done properly is BETTER THAN ITALIAN! Ha ha!

91st Session of the Philosophical Foundations of Law and Finance

Dear all,

Tonight, Friday November 11, 2011, for the 91st Session of the Philosophical Foundations of Law and Finance, we will remind ourselves of Aristotle's concept of objective knowledge categories and objects across the theoretical, productive and practical sciences, clarify some mistakes made by Heidegger and Wittgenstein re "Categories," and push on with my theory on "the Invariance of Default" and "the Great Cycles of Default" as applied to the Euro crisis.

So far our predictions from theory to markets and politics have been spookily accurate from about late 2007. For those following my blog, the next phase encoded into subliminal social actions is [B][B]->[B][I]. 6 - 8pm, room 516, 309 Regent St, London.

Drinks and dinner nearby (maybe Japanese, Persian or Thai) après lecture.
