[koglist] reminder: invitation to a talk on `The Special Significance of Equality of Opportunity`by Martin O`Neill - 22 October, 5.30 PM - plus draft paper

by Krisztina Biber

The CEU Department of Philosophy cordially invites you to a talk (as part of its Departmental Colloquium series) by Martin O'Neill (York) on `The Special Significance of Equality of Opportunity` Tuesday, 22 October, 2013, 5.30 PM, Zrinyi 14, Room 412 ABSTRACT My aim in this article is to examine the special significance of equality of opportunity. I want first to answer the question of whether equality of opportunity really is special, when compared to any other kind of distributive equality. My answer will be an affirmative one. Equality in the distribution of opportunity has an importance that is not derivative from a broader concern with egalitarian distribution and, therefore, any plausible view of distributive justice has to give a special place to a concern with equal opportunity. My hope is that, in answering this question of the significance of equality of opportunity, one can also thereby show some interesting features, and intriguing shortcomings, of views that do not grant it a special place. I will then try to defend the “special significance” view by relating it to broader issues regarding the self-understanding of the agents who are also the subjects to whom an account of justice is addressed. My account looks to provide a reconstructive justification for a view that is very close to Rawls’s view of the place of equality of opportunity, but is revisionary in a number of respects, not least of which is the rejection of Rawls’s commitment to the lexical priority of a principle of equality of opportunity over other distributive concerns.

Psychological research shows that faces generally become more attractive when they are blended with other faces towards the population average. APS Fellow Jamin Halberstadt, University of Otago, New Zealand, and coauthors at Erasmus University Rotterdam, The Netherlands and University of California, San Diego, USA found this effect to be puzzling, given the nature of morphed faces.

Despite sustaining damage to these brain areas, some people retain an unconscious ability to respond to visual stimuli -- an ability termed blindsight. Researches suggest that residual vision in people with blindsight may be due to massive reorganization of their visual system. The brains of very young children are highly plastic, allowing those who acquire brain damage early in life a better chance of compensating for the damaged structures and regaining lost functioning.

The *Translational Neuromodeling Unit *(*TNU*; Director: Prof. K.E. Stephan) is a newly founded division of the Institute of Biomedical Engineering at the University of Zurich and the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH Zurich). Its mission is to translate advances in computational neuroscience into diagnostic tools for psychiatry and neurology. To this end, the TNU brings together computational modelers, experimentalists and clinicians who jointly develop mathematical models of maladaptive behaviour and brain disease, and evaluate their diagnostic use in patient studies. Within a custom-designed building, the TNU is presently setting up a research clinic with a wide range of experimental facilities (EEG, TMS, tDCS, pharmacological, psychophysics and behavioural labs). For our EEG laboratories, we invite applications for a *Research Assistant (RA), 100%* The applicant's *main responsibilities* include: * recording electroencephalography (EEG) and collecting behavioral data in patients as well as healthy participants, * support of lab management (e.g., ordering consumables, equipment), organizational and administrative tasks, and preparation of experiments, * support in the recruitment of participants. *Qualifications and requirements:* * education in a relevant field (e.g., Medical Technical Assistant, or university graduate in natural sciences, engineering, psychology), * fluent German and good English, * good organizational skills, * computer skills (MS-Office and standard web applications), * ability to work independently and in a team. *Advantageous (but not required):* * experience in electroencephalography (training can be provided to the successful applicant), * programming skills (Matlab). We offer a position with an initial duration of 1 year. Further extension is possible. The salary will depend on experience and qualifications. The TNU, located in central Zurich, offers a young, collegial and highly international community, and an exciting interdisciplinary scientific environment at the intersection between computational neuroscience, neuropharmacology and psychiatry. The application, including a short letter of motivation, CV and the names and contact information of two references should be sent by email in a single pdf to tnu-jobs(a)biomed.ee.ethz.ch <mailto:tnu-jobs@biomed.ee.ethz.ch>.

[koglist] [CEU Cogsci Talks] REMINDER: Yuyan Luo, Wednesday, October 16, 5PM CDC at Hattyúhaz

by olivier mascaro

Dear all, This is to remind you that the next talk in our seminar series will by given by: Yuyan Luo (University of Missouri) Date: Wednesday, October 16, 2013, 5 PM Location: Cognitive Development Center, Hattyú u. 14, 3rd floor Title: Infants understand others' preferences using statistical information and transitive reasoning. Understanding one another’s preferences, e.g., for something or someone over others, is important for us to navigate the social world. Even infants seem to make sense of agents’ actions in terms of preferences, which are defined as dispositional states that help explain why an agent chooses a particular object in the presence of another option. So far, results on infants’ understanding of preferences have come from experimental situations in which the available evidence is straightforward, that is, when an agent’s choice between two options is consistent. I will present data showing when the agent chooses inconsistently between two options, infants can use different consistency/inconsistency ratios to learn about the agent's preferences. In addition, I will present data showing that infants can also engage in transitive reasoning about preferences. Together, these results demonstrate how general learning mechanisms, statistical learning and transitive reasoning in particular, inform infants' understanding about agents' preferences. PLEASE NOTE: Our seminar room has a limited capacity. Please arrive early to ensure you get a seat. The talk will begin promptly at 5.

[koglist] reminder: invitation to a talk on`Ethical Trends in Islamic Philosophy`-15 October, 5.30 PM

by Krisztina Biber

The CEU Department of Philosophy cordially invites you to a talk (as part of its Departmental Colloquium series) by Meryem Sebti (CNRS Paris) on `Ethical Trends in Islamic Philosophy` Tuesday, 15 October, 2013, 5.30 PM, Zrinyi 14, Room 412 ABSTRACT When we look into the history of classical Islamic philosophy, we can notice the paramount importance of ethical writings from the 10th to the 16th century. In my present study, I will try to focus on the specificity of this classical ethics; to underline its relationship to Greek ethics but also its close relationship to the Qur’ān and the Sunna and try to show how this very specific heritage has its place in Muslim contexts today.
