DESCRIPTION:The positions of the planets\, ancient human writi
 ngs\, and bus queuing behaviour are all instances 
 of evidence. (So are spotty tongues\, hygrometer r
 eadouts\, and fresh dung.) What unites them? Is it
  the relations each have to something else\; to cl
 aims\, perspectives\, or theories? Is it how we us
 e them?  Can they really all be the same thing? Th
 e focus of our discussion will be on the enormous 
 variety of things ordinarily classed as evidence\,
  how to even begin thinking about the question of 
 what evidence is\, and what a general theory might
  hope to achieve.
