<p>Create profile: CNPS presenter on necessary truth</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>{{Infobox scientist<br /> | name = Abhishek Chakravartty<br /> | alt = Abhishek Chakravartty<br /> | fields = [[Philosophy of Science]], [[Logic]]<br /> | known_for = Argument that a necessary truth may fail to hold as a truth in rare cases<br /> }}<br /> <br /> &#039;&#039;&#039;Abhishek Chakravartty&#039;&#039;&#039; is an independent researcher who has presented in the online seminar series of the [[John Chappell Natural Philosophy Society]] (CNPS). His CNPS presentation addresses the status of necessary truth — the question of whether a proposition that must always be true can nevertheless fail to appear true under rare circumstances. He is not to be confused with the philosopher of science Anjan Chakravartty, who is a different person.<br /> <br /> ==Scientific contributions==<br /> In his 2023 CNPS seminar, &quot;Situation Regarding Change in Necessary Truth&quot;, Chakravartty examines the notion of &#039;&#039;necessary truth&#039;&#039;: a truth which, by definition, always has to be a truth. His stated thesis is that such a truth &quot;may not appear to be a truth in some rare cases.&quot;<br /> <br /> This line of inquiry sits at the foundations of the physical sciences rather than within any particular physical theory. Much of modern physics rests on propositions treated as necessarily and universally valid — logical and mathematical identities, conservation principles, and postulates elevated to the status of axioms. Chakravartty&#039;s argument, in questioning whether necessity is as unconditional as it is usually assumed to be, bears directly on the habit of treating certain physical statements as beyond revision. This concern with the unexamined foundations of accepted theory is characteristic of the critical-thinking tradition the CNPS was founded to support.<br /> <br /> Beyond the content of this seminar, no further published work by this author has been located in public sources, and no biographical details are asserted here.<br /> <br /> ==CNPS talks==<br /> He has presented in the CNPS online seminar series:<br /> * [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X_PDAl3e9T8 &quot;Situation Regarding Change in Necessary Truth with Dr. Abhishek Chakravartty&quot;] (27 May 2023)<br /> <br /> ==External links==<br /> * [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X_PDAl3e9T8 &quot;Situation Regarding Change in Necessary Truth&quot; — CNPS seminar video]<br /> <br /> [[Category:Scientist|Chakravartty Abhishek]]<br /> [[Category:Philosophy|Chakravartty Abhishek]]</div>
