  Sordo\n\nFriday\, November 6th @ 12:00 pm - 1:30 pm EST\n\nTitle: Was Ea
 rly Carnap a Machian Neutral Monist?\n\nAbstract:\n\nIn this talk\, I def
 end the thesis that early Carnap is a Machian neutral monist. To support 
 this thesis\, I mediate between two opposing readings of the relation bet
 ween Mach and early Carnap: Textor (2021)\, who advances a neutral monist
 ic reading of Carnap’s Aufbau\, and Banks (2003\, 2014)\, who regards Car
 nap’s Aufbau and Mach’s neutral monism as divergent projects. I argue tha
 t the Aufbau does not satisfy the main conditions of Machian neutral moni
 sm and that the comparison between Mach and early Carnap with respect to 
 ontological neutrality remains largely underdetermined. I further argue t
 hat Carnap’s pre-Aufbau works satisfy the main conditions of Machian neut
 ral monism and support a reading according to which Mach and early Carnap
  are aligned in their account of ontological neutrality.\n\nThis talk wil
 l also be available live streamed on\n\nYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/
