Egyfelo"l a keresztény nyugat szembesült az arab tudomány gazdagságával és felso"bbrendu" voltával, valamint igyekezett annak eredményeit asszimilálni, másfelo"l pedig az új tudással nem kevés olyan anyag is érkezett, amely elgondolkodásra késztette a nyugat filozófusait. A fordítók ugyanis a matematikai, csillagászati, optikai és orvosi traktátusokkal együtt (so"t nem ritkán ezeket félretéve) különösen szívesen fordították a divináció, a természetes mágia és a talizmán mágia alapszövegeit. Az új tudomány érkezése olyan helyzetet teremtett, amelyre talán nem túlzás a ?paradigmaváltás? kifejezést alkalmazni. Nem csupán azért, mert a természetro"l való tudás mennyisége drasztikusan megno"tt a jellege pedig megváltozott, hanem azért is, mert az új szövegek új kihívással szembesítették a nyugat tudósközösségeit: meg kellett határozni, hogy a tudásanyag mely része mino"sül elfogadhatónak és tudományosnak, és mit kell sürgo"sen kizárni a legitim tudományból, egyszóval állást kellett foglalni a demarkáció kérdésében. A helyzet átmeneti voltára jellemzo", hogy számunkra meglepo" tudástípusok is aspirálhattak a tudomány státuszra: a 12. század néhány oktatási kézikönyve a necromantia tudományát ? bármit is értettek e terminus alatt ? a hetedik szabad mu"vészetként, azaz az oktatás legalapveto"bb elemeként említette. Elo"adásomban 13. századi latin szerzo"k tudományklasszifikációit segítségül híva azt a mechanizmust igyekszem rekonstruálni, amelynek folyamán eldo"lt, hogy mely arab forrásból fordított mágiatípusok nyernek bebocsátást a hivatalos tudomány védo"bástyái közé, és melyek mino"sülnek veszélyes ? de nem megsemmisítendo", csupán félretéve mego"rzendo" ?tudásanyagnak. Ha vizsgálatunkat kiterjesztjük az egész középkorra, megfigyelhetjük, hogy amíg a ?mágia? terminus egyértelmu" elutasítás tárgya volt a kora középkorban, addig a korszak végére korlátozott mértékben lehetségessé vált egyes mágia formák mellett érvelni. A tanult mágia differenciálódásával és az egyes mágiatípusok elkülönülésével párhuzamosan, bizonyos mágiához kötheto" motívumok és teóriák ?pozitivizációjáról?, tudományossá szelídüléséro"l számolhatunk be. Úgy tu"nik, hogy nem csak a tudomány, de a mágia fogalma is történetileg változó, állandó mozgásban lévo" és dinamikus konstrukció, valamint, hogy végso" soron egy tágabb értelemben vett tudósközösség döntésén múlik, hogy mi számít egyetemi szinten oktatható tudásnak, és mi mino"sül veszélyes tévelygésnek. Ezek a következtetések persze nem okoznak meglepetést azoknak, akik figyelemmel követték az elmúlt húsz-harminc év tudományfilozófiai és tudásszociológiai fejleményeit. Azonban amíg e filozófiai tételek illusztrálására és alátámasztására rendszerint 17. századi vagy késo"bbi, modern példák szolgáltatnak történeti anyagot, addig én azt próbálom felderíteni, hogy hogyan lehet hasonló szempontok mentén újraolvasni a 13. század egyes vitáit, azaz hogyan lehet egy olyan korszakot vizsgálni, amely sokkal kevesebb tudománytörténeti és szociológiai információt hagyott ránk, és amelyhez összehasonlíthatatlanul nehézkesebb a hozzáférésünk. ___________________________________ The 60-minute lecture is followed by a 10-minute break.

Grush/The emulation theory of representation: BBS Call for Commentators

by Behavioral & Brain Sciences

Below is a link to the forthcoming BBS target article The emulation theory of representation: motor control, imagery, and perception by Rick Grush http://www.bbsonline.org/Preprints/Grush/Referees/ This article has been accepted for publication in Behavioral and Brain Sciences (BBS), an international, interdisciplinary journal providing Open Peer Commentary on important and controversial current research in the biobehavioral and cognitive sciences. Commentators must be BBS Associates or suggested by a BBS Associate. To be considered as a commentator for this article, to suggest other appropriate commentators, or for information about how to become a BBS Associate, please reply by EMAIL within three (3) weeks to: calls(a)bbsonline.org The Calls are sent to 10,000 BBS Associates, so there is no expectation (indeed, it would be calamitous) that each recipient should comment on every occasion! Hence there is no need to reply except if you wish to comment, or to suggest someone to comment. If you are not a BBS Associate, please approach a current BBS Associate (there are currently over 10,000 worldwide) who is familiar with your work to nominate you. All past BBS authors, referees and commentators are eligible to become BBS Associates. An electronic list of current BBS Associates is available at this location to help you select a name: http://www.bbsonline.org/Instructions/assoclist.html (please note that this list is being updated) If no current BBS Associate knows your work, please send us your Curriculum Vitae and BBS will circulate it to appropriate Associates to ask whether they would be prepared to nominate you. (In the meantime, your name, address and email address will be entered into our database as an unaffiliated investigator.) ======================================================================= ** IMPORTANT ** ======================================================================= To help us put together a balanced list of commentators, it would be most helpful if you would send us an indication of the relevant expertise you would bring to bear on the paper, and what aspect of the paper you would anticipate commenting upon. (Please note that we only request expertise information in order to simplify the selection process.) Please DO NOT prepare a commentary until you receive a formal invitation, indicating that it was possible to include your name on the final list, which is constructed so as to balance areas of expertise and frequency of prior commentaries in BBS. To help you decide whether you would be an appropriate commentator for this article, an electronic draft is retrievable at the URL that follows the abstract and keywords below. ======================================================================= ======================================================================= The emulation theory of representation: motor control, imagery, and perception Rick Grush Department of Philosophy UCSD La Jolla, CA ABSTRACT: The 'emulation theory of representation', is developed and explored as a framework that can revealingly synthesize a wide variety of representational functions of the brain. The framework is based on constructs from control theory (forward models) and signal processing (Kalman filters). The idea is that in addition to simply engaging with the body and environment, the brain constructs neural circuits that act as models of the body and environment. During overt sensorimotor engagement, these models are driven by efference copies, in parallel with the body and environment, in order to provide expectations of the sensory feedback, and to enhance and process sensory information. These models can also be run off-line in order to produce imagery, estimate outcomes of different actions, and evaluate and develop motor plans. The framework is initially developed within the context of motor control, where it has been shown that inner models running in parallel with the body can reduce the effects of feedback delay problems. The same mechanisms can account for motor imagery as the off-line driving of the emulator via efference copies. The framework is extended to account for visual imagery as the off-line driving of an emulator of the motor-visual loop. I also show how such systems can provide for amodal spatial imagery. Perception, including visual perception, results from such models being used to form expectations of, and to interpret, sensory input. I close by briefly outlining other cognitive functions that can might also be synthesized within this framework, including reasoning, theory of mind phenomena, and language. KEYWORDS: efference copies, emulation theory of representation, forward models, Kalman filters, motor control, motor imagery, perception, visual imagery. http://www.bbsonline.org/Preprints/Grush/Referees/ ======================================================================= ======================================================================= *** SUPPLEMENTARY ANNOUNCEMENT *** (1) Call for Book Nominations for BBS Multiple Book Review In the past, Behavioral and Brain Sciences (BBS) had only been able to do 1-2 BBS multiple book treatments per year, because of our limited annual page quota. BBS's new expanded page quota will make it possible for us to increase the number of books we treat per year, so this is an excellent time for BBS Associates and biobehavioral/cognitive scientists in general to nominate books you would like to see accorded BBS multiple book review. (Authors may self-nominate, but books can only be selected on the basis of multiple nominations.) It would be very helpful if you indicated in what way a BBS Multiple Book Review of the book(s) you nominate would be useful to the field (and of course a rich list of potential reviewers would be the best evidence of its potential impact!). *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* Please note: Your email address has been added to our user database for Calls for Commentators, the reason you received this email.

News from Science & Consciousness Review --- A Nagelian Neurology of Consciousness?

by Thomas Zoëga Ramsøy

Dear all, Science & Consciousness Review ( http://psych.pomona.edu/scr ) has released new articles and reviews: _______________________ THE PHILOSOPHY AND THEORY OF CONSCIOUSNESS - NEW SECTION ON TESTABLE IDEAS ON CONSCIOUSNESS A Nagelian Neurology of Consciousness? - by Chris Nunn "The aim of this paper is to explore the possibility that Nagel's well-known account has implications for understanding the neural basis of consciousness. In a world assumed to be non-dualistic, it is argued that Nagel's view (i.e. that consciousness is what an organism possesses when there is something that it is like to be itself) implies that consciousness is an attribute of some system in the brain that maps patterns of spike train activity. Various considerations suggest that any such system is likely to operate on analog principles."

News from Science & Consciousness Review - Baars and Lutz

by ramsoy＠tiscali.dk

Dear member of this list, Science & Consciousness Review ( http://psych.pomona.edu/scr ) has released two new articles and reviews: _______________________ 1) EDITORIAL REVIEW --- SIXTH COMMENTARY ON CRICK & KOCH Some good things about Crick & Kochs Framework for consciousness. By Bernard J. Baars Science and Consciousness Review has just published a summary and four commentaries about the significant new article by Francis Crick and Christof Koch, titled A framework for consciousness. Most SCR commentaries in this series have been critical. I understand the criticisms. What may be lost in the debate, however, is an understanding of how far we have come in the scientific study of consciousness, in little more than a decade. In my view, Crick and Koch give us a progress report: Yes, there are many remaining gaps, but we are consistently learning more and more. Consciousness is back on the scientific frontier as a major topic, and there are signs of an early consensus on a number of questions.
