`Idealization and Indeterminacy`
Tuesday, 28 October 2014, 5.30 PM, Zrinyi 14, Room 412
ABSTRACT
The standard move against the claim that no scientific theory can secure determinacy of reference is to embrace structuralism and argue that indeterminacy of reference does not imply indeterminacy of truth conditions. To show that determinacy of truth conditions can be secured, one may insist on empirical or computational constraints that might eliminate the "unintended" interpretations that make a theory true. Idealization procedures in scientific practice indicate, however, that such interpretations are necessary to account for a range of natural phenomena. In my talk, I discuss the implications of this fact for semantics and modal ontology.

Noetic feelings and mental agency
Tuesday, 21 October, 2014, 5.30 PM, Zrinyi 14, Room 412
ABSTRACT
In contrast with bodily action, two kinds of motives have to be present
for a mental action to develop. A mental action is performed because of
some basic informational need, such as “remembering the name of the
play”. Its performance, however, is also monitored for its validity,
depending on the epistemic norm that is associated with the selected
action (e.g., either accuracy, or exhaustive truth). Hence, when acting
mentally, one must be able to predict one's ability to come up with a
valid answer, given a norm, and to retrospectively
check its validity. This dual ability constitutes metacognition.
Experimental evidence, as well as conceptual research, has shown that
subjective experience plays an important role in sensitivity to
epistemic norms: noetic feelings, such as feelings of knowing (FOK) and
feelings of being right (FOR), are reliably guiding our epistemic
decisions. These feelings raise various philosophically important
questions. How do noetic feelings differ from other kinds of feelings?
What is the representational format for subjectively appraising the
validity of one's cognitive outputs? Is this format at least minimally
penetrable by concept-based inferences? How and why can experience-based
metacognition give way to analytic, conceptbased metacognition?
