Martin PRINZHORN (Vienna University, Linguistics)
is our guest from 7th to 14th of March, next week. His course
outline is given below. He will be reachable in Izabella street, int
the guest appartment and in my room (316).
All our wellcome, please post this note.
CONSCIOUSNESS, MODULARITY, AND REPRESENTATION
In the first part of this minicourse I will look at "fragmented"
models of consciousness which try to deal with perception-without
awareness-phenomena in the areas of vision, face recognition,
semantic memory etc.. In particular, Schacter's DICE (dissociated
interaction and conscious experience) model will be discussed. The
conceptually interesting question that these models bring up has to
do with the interaction of vertical systems and the horizontal system
in the sense of Fodor (1983). Does a modularization of consciousness
force us to rethink both the dychotomy model of Fodor (1983) and the
language-of-thought-hypothesis of Fodor (1975, 1994)?
In the second part I will concentrate on represetational systems and
their relation to grammar. In order to handle the interface problem
between a semantically "shallow" grammar and a semantically evaluable
central (conscious?) system, I will defend a theory of
representational error which is based on linguistic considerations
(concerning the role of modification in grammar) and on Cummins'
(1996) teleological idea of a "target," an "intensional concept but
one that differs importantly from that of an ordinary intentional
object."
