[koglist] [CDC Seminars] CogSci CEU Departmental Colloquium: March 14. Can the comprehension of abstract language be rooted in sensory experiences?

by Gyorgyne Finta

The CEU Department of Cognitive Science cordially invites you to a talk (as part of its Departmental Colloquium series) by Anna Babarczy, Budapest University of Technology and Economics on Can the comprehension of abstract language be rooted in sensory experiences? Date: Wed, March 14, 2012 - 17:00 - 18:30 Location: Department of Cognitive Science, CEU, Frankel Leó út 30-34., Room G15 Can the comprehension of abstract language be rooted in sensory experiences? ABSTRACT: The question of learning the meaning of abstract language (roughly, expressions with no perceptible referents) has been bugging philosophers for thousands of years. More recently, a number of experimental paradigms have emerged trying to shed light on this issue. The basic idea explored in the talk is that people understand abstract (metaphorical) expressions by linking them to sensory or bodily experiences. If this is the case, we should be able to show that these experiences affect people’s interpretation of abstract utterances. The talk looks at the evidence we have so far (pro and contra).We're looking forward to see you there (Frankel Leo u. 30-34) ! _______________________________________________ Subscribe by sending an empty mail to seminars-subscribe(a)cdc.ceu.hu Unsubscribe by sending an empty mail to seminars-unsubscribe(a)cdc.ceu.hu

Dear friends/colleagues, First of all, I'd like to apologise for spamming your inbox. As you've probably heard by now the 6th version of the Intercultural Pragmatics Conference will be taking place in Malta towards the end of May. As the call for papers deadline is now fast approaching (20th December), I'd be grateful if you could forward the call for papers (available here: http://www.um.edu.mt/events/interculturalpragmatics2014/callforpapers) to your research group or any other potentially interested parties. It goes without saying of course that we'd be also delighted to receive your own abstracts too.

[koglist] invitation to a philosophy talk on`The Moral Evaluation of Past Tragedies: A New Puzzle`by Saul Smilansky - 26 November, 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 Saul Smilansky (University of Haifa) on `The Moral Evaluation of Past Tragedies: A New Puzzle` Tuesday, 26 November, 2013, 5.30 PM, Zrinyi 14, Room 412 ABSTRACT The past is full of terrible tragedies, including slavery, World War I, and the Holocaust. Morality would clearly appear to support the claim that it would have been preferable for the victims of those calamities to have lived free and peaceful lives. And yet, a Zeno-like puzzle or even a paradox appears to be lurking here. Moral evaluation can be either personal or impersonal, yet neither one of these two perspectives nor any other prevalent moral evaluation of events appears to yield the morally expected conclusion. To the best of my knowledge, this puzzle has not been discussed before.
