DETERMINISM, CHANCE, AND UNCERTAINTY
a CEU - ELTE HPS Department Workshop
Budapest, Hungary, November 20-25
========================================================================
Topics
Does necessity exist in nature, or is it merely a product of our
theories? Does science require it, or does empirical correlation work
just as well? Are determinism and chance mutually exclusive
alternatives, or is there something in between? Is evolution causal,
and if so, what causes it? Is the hypothesis of a self compatible with
determinism, and if not, which of the two should be rejected? Does
determinism mean that there is, at any given time, only one possible
future? Is indeterminism a fact about the world, or about our own
uncertainty? Has free will anything to do with it? Can science
determine whether or not the world is deterministic, or is this a
metaphysical problem?
========================================================================
Organizers
The CEU Popper Project, in conjunction with the CEU Curriculum
Resource Center and the History and Philosophy of Science Department
of the Eotvos University, will host a workshop on Determinism, Chance,
and Uncertainty at the CEU campus in Budapest from 20-25 November
1997. Participants will discuss philosophical and scientific problems
related to determinism, chance, and uncertainty in a series of
round-table seminar discussions.
Philosophers and scientists with interests in these areas are
encouraged to apply.
========================================================================
Sponsors
Determinism, Chance, and Uncertainty is sponsored by the Higher
Education Support Program (HESP). Grants for travel and accomodations
are available to participants from Eastern and Central Europe.
========================================================================
Those interested in participating should send a cover letter and
curriculum vitae to Ms Komjathy Zsuzsa (Komjathy(a)CEU.HU; tel:
36-1-327-3000 ext. 2142; fax: 36-1-327-3072).
========================================================================
Deadline for applications is 1 October 1997.

Foundations of Cognition:
A
Sociobiological Perspective
We, like other species, evolved. And we can think -- in fact, we evolved
the ability to think. We also evolved the ability to feel. Why we are
afraid of the dark, of snakes, of strangers, of heights; why we feel
like eating when our blood sugar goes down, why we overeat, why most of
us prefer sex with the opposite sex rather than our own, why we are
jealous, why we favour our kin -- all of this can be explained as an
evolutionary legacy. What scope does this leave for thinking and
freedom of will?
These and other questions will be discussed in this seminar
on what can and cannot be explained sociobiologically. A good
starting paper is:
http://www.psych.ucsb.edu/research/cep/primer.htm
Note: this is a seminar, not a lecture course. We will
discuss readings form these books.
