Phil On Tap 24/09/2026: Adrian Currie – Lost Worlds; A Partly Improvised Philosophy About Dinosaurs, Science and the Deep Past

Last week, on the 24th of September, the UoE Philosophy Society kicked off with our first Phil-on-tap, hosted by none other than our university’s Dr Adrian Currie. As the title of the talk suggests, we had the pleasure of hearing about Currie’s latest research focus in direct relation to his new book “The Science of Lost Worlds,” which explores the epistemology of the historical sciences through the lens of Prof. Ichthy, an Ichthyosaur cum palaeontologist attempting to understand mammals in a distant alternative future.
