The CEU Philosophy department cordially invites you to a talk
by
Willem deVries (Fulbright Distinguished Lecturer, Universität Wien and Professor of Philosophy University of New Hampshire)
on
"The Necessity of the Normative: The Resilience of the Manifest
Image in Sellars's Scientific Realism"
5.00 PM, Monday, 13. June, 14. Zrinyi str. / room 412
Abstract:
Although Sellars wrote of a "synoptic vision" in which the manifest image and the scientific image are reconciled, many have taken his scientific realism to entail the eventual dominance of the scientific image. I argue that this is incorrect, indeed, that the practical reality of human life is essentially tied to the ineliminable normativity of the manifest image.

Dear Colleagues,
We have several Postdoctoral Research Fellowships available at the CBCD

One of
the projects will involve ERP testing of infants at risk for autism, and
would suit someone with experience of working with developmental
disorders. A second project will explore the neural basis of early
concept and category learning, and would suit someone with experience
of ERP recordign with infants, or testing early category learning. A
third project involves studies of novelty preference and its neural
bases.
Feel free to contact any of us for further information.
