philosophy lecture at CEU

by Krisztina Biber

The Philosophy Department of Central European University invites you to a public lecture Arthur Madigan, S.J. (Boston College) Aristotle's handling of endoxa in Nicomachian Ethics IX 4 and Eudemian Ethics VII 6 3.00 PM, March 3, Wednesday, Zrinyi utca 14, Room 412 Nicomachian Ethics VII 1, 1145b2-7 is commonly taking to be an important statement, even a controlling statement, of Aristotle's method of beginning inquiry with a survey of endoxa or reputable opinions. According to certain interpretations of the passage, Aristotle's conclusions are determined, or at least restricted, by the initial collection of endoxa. In Nicomachian Ethics IX 4 and Eudemian Ethics VII 6, however, Aristotle begins with very similar collections of endoxa but comes to very different conclusions. This paper will study these texts in an attempt to determine how similar initial collections of opinions can lead to different conclusions. The aim will be to identify other salient features of Aristotle's dialectical procedure besides the initial collection of endoxa. Professor Madigan earned his PhD at the University of Toronto in 1979. He has published widely in the field of Greek philosophy, his major book publications include: - Alexander of Aphrodisias on Aristotle, Metaphysics 2 and 3. London-Ithaca N.Y.: Duckworth-Cornell University Press, 1992. - Alexander of Aphrodisias on Aristotle, Metaphysics 4. London-Ithaca N.Y.: Duckworth-Cornell University Press, 1993. - Aristotle, Metaphysics Books Beta and Kappa 1-2. (Clarendon Aristotle Series). Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1999. http://fmwww.bc.edu/pl/fac/madigan.cv.html

The Birth of Mind [book announcement]

by Gary Marcus

Announcing [and with apologies for multiple postings] The Birth of the Mind How A Tiny Number of Genes Creates the Complexity of Human Thought By <http://www.psych.nyu.edu/gary/index.html>Gary Marcus "A joy to read." -- Publisher's Weekly "Expert and Lucid" -- Noam Chomsky "Brilliantly Original" -- Steven Pinker "[Across] such diverse disciplines as evolution, genetics, gene expression, cell biology, neurobiology, and psychology, Marcus .... makes the relevant issues understandable to the lay reader, and does an even better job of dispelling the myths that impede the way we think about genes and their role in making brains, and hence minds." -- Nature From the Jacket The Human Genome Project has blazed new trails in medical science and genetic research. We know that within hours of their birth, babies can recognize faces, connect what they hear with what they see and tell the difference between Dutch and Japanese. Our genes prepare us to observe the world; they shape the finest details of the human brain. But as far as psychology is concerned, writes award-winning cognitive scientist Gary Marcus, "it's almost as if Watson and Crick never met DNA." With The Birth of the Mind , Gary Marcus enters the nature vs. nurture debate and changes it forever. Genetics isn't destiny, but the only way to know what nature brings to the table, he argues, is to take a look at what genes actually do. Startling findings have recently revealed that the genome is much smaller than we once thought, containing no more than 30,000-40,000 genes. Since this discovery, scientists have struggled to understand how such a tiny number of genes could contain the instructions for building the human brain, arguably the most complex device in the known universe. Synthesizing up-to-the-minute research with his own original findings on child development, Marcus is the first to resolve this apparent contradiction as he chronicles exactly how genes create the infinite complexities of the human mind. Along the way, he reveals the common misconceptions people harbor about genes, and explores the stunning implications of this research for the future of genetic engineering.

Dear Colleagues, Given the many requests for individual extensions, the TCP co-chairs have decided to extend the MobiQuitous 2004 deadline for paper REGISTRATION and SUBMISSION to: *** FEBRUARY 29 2004 *** This is to be indended as a strict deadline. No further extensions will be granted. Again, we ***TRULY*** apologize if you receive multiple copies of this updated Call for Papers. *********************************************************************** PRELIMINARY ANNOUNCEMENT and CALL FOR PAPERS MobiQuitous 2004 http://www.mobiquitous.org The First Annual International Conference on Mobile and Ubiquitous Systems: Networking and Services August 22-25, 2004 Boston, Massachusetts, USA Held in cooperation with AAAI Pending Sponsorhips: The IEEE Computer Society Technical Committee on Distributed Processing ACM SIGMOBILE *********************************************************************** The combination of mobile and ubiquitous computing is emerging as a promising new paradigm with the goal to provide computing and communication services all the time, everywhere, transparently and invisibly to the user, using devices embedded in the surrounding physical environment. In this context, the communication devices, the objects with which they interact, or both may be mobile. The implementation of such a paradigm requires advances in wireless network technologies and devices, development of infrastructures supporting cognitive environments, and discovery and identification of ubiquitous computing applications and services. The first ACM Annual International Conference on Mobile and Ubiquitous Systems: networking and services (Mobiquitous 04) will cover all these aspects, representing a forum where practitioners and researchers coming from the many areas involved in ubiquitous solutions design and deployment will be able to interact exchanging the cross-layer experiences needed to build the overall ubiquitous systems. Areas addressed by the conference include: applications, service-oriented computing, middleware, networking, agents, knowledge management and databases. PAPERS: Technical papers describing original, previously unpublished research, not currently under review by another conference or journal, are solicited. The conference is interested in contributions addressing all the areas associated with mobile and ubiquitous architectures, infrastructure and services. Technical works clearly identifying how the specific contributions fit to an overall working solution are particularly of interest. Topics include, but are not limited to, the following feature topics: * Ubiquitous architectures and systems * Wearable computing and personal area network * Wireless technologies for mobile and ubiquitous communications (Bluetooth, ZigBee, 802.15.x, WiFi) * Wireless Internet access in ubiquitous systems * Reconfigurability and personalization of wireless network * Service discovery mechanisms, knowledge discovery, matching and composition mechanisms * Wireless/mobile service management and delivery * Security, privacy and social issues of mobile and ubiquitous systems * Peer-to-peer knowledge management * Emerging industrial/business scenarios * Multimodal interfaces (speech, video kinetic, tactile) * Smart spaces * Ad hoc and sensor networking * Localization and tracking * Context and location aware application * Multimedia encoding and transcoding * Middleware services * Agent technologies in ubiquitous, wearable, and mobile systems * Hardware and software platforms for ubiquitous systems, and testbeds * User interfaces * Toolkits, development environments, and languages for ubiquitous computing * Ontologies for mobile and ubiquitous computing SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS: All paper submissions will be handled electronically (see the conference web page for details). Authors should prepare a Portable Document Format (PDF) or postscript version of their full paper.
