The CEU Philosophy department cordially invites you to a talk (as part of its Departmental Colloquium series) by Michael V.Griffin (Central European University) on "Leibniz on the Eternal Truths and the Existence of God" 5.30 PM, Tuesday, 30. September, 14. Zrinyi str. / room 412 Abstract: Leibniz maintains that there are eternal truths (including truths concerning possibilities and necessities) and that these truths, nevertheless, depend on God. His statements on the topic include: "If there were no eternal substance, there would be no eternal truths," "God is not only the source of existences, but also that of essences," and "if there were no God, there would not only be nothing actual, but also nothing possible." Interpreters of Leibniz and philosophers sympathetic to the dependence claim typically say that the eternal truths, or the entities on which they depend (e.g., essences or possibles), are God's concepts or thoughts. Without God, of course, these things wouldn't exist. However, I think Leibniz has a deeper sort of dependence in mind. It follows from Leibniz's metaphysics, I'll argue, that God's non-existence would entail the internal inconsistency of all essences.

TITLE: How we know our own minds: the relationship between mindreading and metacognition AUTHORS: Peter Carruthers ABSTRACT: Four different accounts of the relationship between third-person mindreading and first-person metacognition are compared and evaluated. While three of them endorse the existence of introspection for propositional attitudes, the fourth (defended here) claims that our knowledge of our own attitudes results from turning our mindreading capacities upon ourselves. Section 1 introduces the four accounts. Section 2 develops the mindreading is prior model in more detail, showing how it predicts introspection for perceptual and quasi-perceptual (e.g. imagistic) mental events while claiming that metacognitive access to our own attitudes always results from swift unconscious self-interpretation. It also considers the models relationship to the expression of attitudes in speech. Section 3 argues that the commonsense belief in the existence of introspection should be given no weight. Section 4 argues briefly that data from childhood development are of no help in resolving this debate. Section 5 considers the evolutionary claims to which the different accounts are committed, and argues that the three introspective views make predictions that arent borne out by the data. Section 6 examines the extensive evidence that people often confabulate when self-attributing attitudes. Section 7 considers two systems accounts of human thinking and reasoning, arguing that although there are inrospectable events within System 2, there are no introspectable attitudes. Section 8 examines alleged evidence of unsymbolized thinking. Section 9 considers the claim that schizophrenia exhibits a dissociation between mindreading and metacognition. Finally, Section 10 evaluates the claim that autism presents a dissociation in the opposite direction, of metacognition without mindreading. KEYWORDS: autism, confabulation, conscious thought, introspection, metacognition, mindreading, schizophrenia, self-interpretation, self-monitoring, self-knowledge.

BME kognitív szeminárium sorozat

by attila keresztes

A BME Kognitív Tudományi Tanszék szeretettel vár mindenkit tanszéki szeminárium sorozatának most következő előadására<http://cogsci.bme.hu/Esem.php?esemIndex=56>: *Emlékszünk-e ismerőseink hangjának érdességére?* *Bőhm Tamás* BME, Távközlési és Médiainformatikai Tanszék <http://www.tmit.bme.hu/> Szeptember 22., hétfő, 12:00-13:00. XI., Stoczek u. 2., St. ép., 320-as terem. *Absztrakt: * Korábbi eredmények arra utalnak, hogy az irreguláris zönge (érdes hang) előfordulási aránya jellemző egyes személyek beszédére, különösen a mondatok végén. A kísérletekben azt vizsgáltuk, hogy a hallgatók egy diszkriminációs tesztben fel tudják-e idézni ezt az információt. Ehhez olyan ingerpárokat (szavakat) állítottunk elő, amelyek egyik tagjának végén a zönge reguláris (nem érdes), míg a másik tagjának végén irreguláris. Az első kísérletet olyan személyekkel végeztük, akik ismerték a beszélők hangját. A második kísérlet résztvevői viszont korábban nem ismerték a beszélőket, hangjukat a kísérlet során ismerték meg. Amikor az ingerpárok közül ki kellett választaniuk, hogy melyik a beszélő hangja, az esetek több mint 60%-ában a beszélő személy jellegzetes zöngeminőségét (reguláris vagy irreguláris) preferálták. Tehát az eredmények azt mutatják, hogy a kísérleti személyek többsége emlékszik a számukra ismert hangok érdességére. (A munkát Stefanie Shattuck-Hufnagel-lel együttműködve végeztem.)

TITLE: The propositional nature of human associative learning AUTHORS: Chris J. Mitchell, Jan De Houwer, and Peter F. Lovibond ABSTRACT: The past 50 years have seen an accumulation of evidence suggesting that associative learning depends on high-level cognitive processes that give rise to propositional knowledge. Yet many learning theorists maintain a belief in a learning mechanism in which links between mental representations are formed automatically. We characterize and highlight the differences between the propositional and link approaches, and review the relevant empirical evidence. We conclude that learning is the consequence of propositional reasoning processes that cooperate with the unconscious processes involved in memory retrieval and perception. We argue that this new conceptual framework allows many of the important recent advances in associative learning research to be retained, but recast in a model that provides a firmer foundation for both immediate application and future research.
