**** Reminder: INNS Award nominations ****
INNS (International Neural Networks Society; http://www.inns.org)
has a well established awards program, designed to recognize
individuals who have made outstanding contributions to the field of
Neural Networks. Up to three awards, one in each of the following
categories, are presented annually at IJCNN to senior individuals
for outstanding contributions made to the field of Neural Networks.
The Hebb Award - recognizes achievement in biological learning.
The Helmholtz Award - recognizes achievement in sensation/perception.
The Gabor Award - recognizes achievement in engineering/application.
In addition, there is the Young Investigator Award: up to two awards
are presented annually to individuals with no more than five years
postdoctoral experience and who are under forty years of age, for
significant contributions to the field of Neural Networks.
The INNS Awards Committee is now inviting nominations for the 2010
Hebb, Helmholtz, and Gabor awards as well as the Young Investigator
awards. You can find the details of the nomination procedure on the INNS
Web page: http://www.inns.org; please click on "awards program".
I would urge you to think of highly qualified candidates and send in
formal nominations for them (see the INNS web page for the
instructions).
Please email the nominations (along with attachments) directly to the
chair of the Awards Committee at rsun(a)rpi.edu by April 1, 2009.

on
Is Pleasure a Good?
Tuesday, 17 March, 2009, 5.30 PM, Zrinyi 14, Room 412
Abstract:
The idea that pleasure as such is good (or a good) faces various problems. One is that people can take pleasure in nasty things, such as cruelty: it seems wrong to say that in such cases the pleasure is good, only the activity and its effects being bad. Connected with this point is another one, to do with the relation of pleasure to the activities (or states) that give pleasure. A number of philosophers have correctly argued that pleasure is not a separable sensation or quasi-sensation, common to pleasant activities; rather, 'Jones finds X pleasant/pleasurable' amounts (roughly) to 'Jones enjoys doing/experiencing X'. And this poses a clear problem for the view that pleasure is a good, when this view is re-expressed as the view that 'It's pleasant' gives a prima facie adequate answer to 'Why do you want (to do) that?'. For enjoying and wanting are very close cousins; so if 'It's pleasant' amounts to 'I enjoy it', then it seems that it could hardly give an informative answer to 'Why do you want (to do) that?'.
I argue that the solution of these difficulties lies in examining the sorts of answer that can be given to 'What's pleasant about that?'. Answers to this question may relate to features of the activity itself, not merely to the psychology and habits of the agent. But in saying in what ways e.g. stamp-collecting is fun, I do not thereby present stamp-collecting as a means to anything further; rather, I adduce facts about stamp-collecting that might make sense of one's going in for stamp-collecting for its own sake. This phrase, 'make sense of', is evidently the crucial one.
Light is cast on such topics as nasty pleasures, addictive vs. non-addictive pleasures, the nature of hedonism, etc. - and a decent, though fairly modest, sense is found for the natural claim that pleasure is a non-instrumental good.

The Central European University has started to develop the background
for an interdisciplinary program in cognitive science. As a part of
this process, the Cognitive Development Center was established in
2008, and two professors of psychology, Gergely Csibra and Gyorgy
Gergely share their time between conducting research at the Center and
teaching courses within the curriculum of the Philosophy program at
CEU. Philosophy of mind had already been one of the focuses in the
Philosophy Depertment’s research; now with the presence of
researchers working on cognitive psychology, the program offers a
unique opportunity for those who are interested in pursuing a PhD in
philosophy which emphasizes an interdisciplinary approach and may
involve significant amount of empirical work in psychology under the
guidance of professors Csibra and Gergely.
We envisage that students who have a degree in philosophy, psychology,
or any other discipline relevant to cognitive science, might equally
be interested in this option. Since our degree is a philosophy degree,
students need to have some background in philosophy, and they have to
relate their work to philosophical discussions of the mind. Therefore
the best course for students who have no previous education in
philosophy is to apply for a philosophy MA at CEU (one or two years).
A significant percentage of the courses at the MA are elective
courses, hence students will have an opportunity, if they so wish, to
focus their studies to issues related to the philosophy of mind. After
the MA, the students will be well placed to apply for the PhD program
in philosophy. We must note that because of the structure of, and
regulations concerning the programs, there can be no guarantee that
everyone from the MA will be admitted to the PhD program; however, an
MA in philosophy would in any case be useful to everyone who is
interested in doing research in cognitive psychology.
Extended deadline for application: 1 April 2009.
