[koglist] Meghívó: Az emberi kommunikáció evolúciója

(hétfő) 16:00 Az ember az együttműködő, nyelvet beszélő, azonos hiedelmeket elfogadó és csoportjainak szerveződését együttesen elhatározó komplex közösségek létrehozásával vált ki az állatvilágból. Ennek a hosszú, sok millió éves folyamatnak a főbb állomásait már elég jól körvonalazták az ezzel foglalkozó tudományok. Az állatok kommunikációja nem hasonlít az emberi nyelvre, csupán néhány értelmezhető jelet tartalmaz, amelyek természetesen fontos szerepet játszanak az állatcsoportok életében. Az állati elme zárt rendszer. Az emberi nyelv viszont nemcsak jelek adására képes, hanem gondolatok cseréjére is. Az ember elméje ezért nyitott és számtalan konstrukciós folyamat segítője, amelyekre az állatvilágban nem találunk példát. Evolúciós kialakulására csak a közösségek kialakulását segítő összetett folyamatok vizsgálatával nyerhetünk bepillantást.

[koglist] invitation to a talk on`Assessing radical sophisticated embodiment`by Pierre Jacob - March 25, 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 Pierre Jacob (Institut Jean Nicod, Paris) on `Assessing radical sophisticated embodiment` Tuesday, 25 March, 2014, 5.30 PM, Zrinyi 14, Room 412 ABSTRACT Several related though distinct questions have been raised in recent philosophy of mind and cognitive science: what makes an individual’s mind or cognition embodied, situated, grounded, embedded, enactive, and extended? I’ll focus on the first question: what makes an individual’s mind embodied? I’ll argue for the following distinctions: embodiment can be uncontroversial or controversial. Controversial embodiment can be moderate or radical. Controversial radical embodiment can be crude or sophisticated. For the purpose of clarifying this last distinction, I will introduce the doctrine of Cartesian materialism construed as the conjunction of (i) the computational representational approach to the mind and mental processes, (ii) the Fodorian trichotomy and (iii) neurocentrism. I shall examine the respective costs of rejecting each conjunct and examine the question how radical sophisticated embodiment relates to the extended mind.

[koglist] reminder: invitation to a talk on"The Works and Attributes of Soul: A Non-Functionalist Interpretation of Cognitive Contents in Aristotle's De Anima I" - 18 March, 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 Ryan Cook (CEU) on "The Works and Attributes of Soul: A Non-Functionalist Interpretation of Cognitive Contents in Aristotle's De Anima I" Tuesday, 18 March, 2014, 5.30 PM, Zrinyi 14, Room 412 ABSTRACT Over the past forty years, it has been increasingly common for scholars of the De Anima to treat Aristotle as a sort of proto-functionalist. On such an interpretation, the Aristotelian souls of living organisms explain psychological activities such as perception, emotion, and desire by subsuming them within the wider context of an organism's purposive behaviours, and all genuinely scientific definitions of these activities will eschew references to private mental contents in favour of functional roles occupied by a variety of material realizers. In this way, it is claimed, Aristotle avoids the traditional pitfalls associated with Platonic Dualism, and provides a uniquely hylomorphic solution to the mind-body problem. Since all putatively psychic states are in fact only bodily states understood in a certain way, there is no question as to how such psychic states might be capable of causing or being produced by various physical changes, and no need to posit a sui generis realm of psychic or mental contents. I believe we have several reasons to reject this proto-functionalist interpretation, and take Aristotle's considered explanations of various cognitive activities to require precisely the sorts of irreducibly psychic or mental states it intends to eliminate. In this talk, I will examine some of these reasons, and offer a close reading of two De Anima I passages that are standardly held to require such proto-functionalist construals. When read in their proper context, I shall claim, neither of these texts demands the sorts of reductionist readings favoured by contemporary interpreters, and each in fact contains claims and arguments which suggest the ontologically richer account I favour.

[koglist] ----Summer School on Repetition Suppression, Jena, Germany. Registration Open-----

by Gyula Kovacs

> > > RESUS - REpetition SUppression SUmmer School > 08.09.2014-12.09.2014, Jena, Germany > REGISTRATION IS NOW OPEN; PROGRAM IS AVAILABLE ONLINE > One of the most robust experience-dependent adjustments of neural function is repetition suppression (RS): the rapid reduction of neural responses caused by the repetition (or prolonged prior presentation) of a given stimulus. RS is a robust and reliable neural phenomenon that clearly shows the plastic changes of the CNS. In spite of the broad interest and intensive studying no consensus has been reached regarding the neural mechanisms of RS as of today. The aim of RESUS is to bring together eminent researchers from the USA, the UK, and Europe with students of a broad range of disciplines to teach and discuss current views on RS. The speakers are experts in clinical, computational, single-cell, EEG/MEG/ERP, TMS and fMRI studies. We expect that RESUS will give a unique opportunity to present, discuss, and integrate cutting-edge research on this important phenomenon of the CNS. > 1 intensive week of training with 20 speakers from 8 countries for 40 students as a maximum > The Friedrich Schiller University, Jena organizes a Summer School aimed at PhD students and post-docs at the early stages in their careers. Places are limited to ensure good interaction in classes. > RESUS will take place at the Friedrich Schiller University, Jena, Germany between 08 September and 12 September 2014. It will consist of an intensive week of lectures with two keynotes, a student-oriented poster session and a round-table discussion. Lecturers are renowned researchers from the most active research groups in their fields. A list of invited lecturers and the program of the summer school are available on summer school website: > http://www.cogsci.uni-jena.de/RESUS.html > In addition to the academic content, RESUS provides a networking opportunity for students to interact with their peers, and to make contacts among those who will be the active researchers of their own generation. > § Important Dates: > Registration is open from now. > Registration deadline: 31 May 2014. > Summer school: Monday 08 September - Friday 12 September 2014 > Registration fee: 100 Euro. > It includes all sessions and materials, accommodation (6 nights), refreshments and coffee, finger-foods and wine during poster session and round table discussion, Summer School Dinner. > Confirmed Speakers: (in alphabetical order) > Bunzeck N Hamburg, D > Deco G Barcelona, E > Grill-Spector K Stanford, CA, US (keynote speaker) > Friston K London, UK (keynote speaker) > Kiebel S Jena, D > Kammer T Ulm, D > Kohn A New York, USA > Kovács G Jena, D > Krekelberg B Newark, USA > De Lange F Nijmegen, NL > Obermayer K Berlin, D > Rossion B Louvain, B > Schwarzbach J Trento, I > Schweinberger S Jena, D > Summerfield C Oxford, UK > Thiel C Oldenburg, D > Valentini E Roma, I > Vidnyánszky Z Budapest, H > Vogels R Leuven, B > Weigelt S Bochum, D > > > --- Gyula Kovács, D.Sc.

[koglist] reminder: invitation to a talk on"The Unity of Action, Perception, and Knowledge" by Ernest Sosa - 11 March, 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 Ernest Sosa (Rutgers University) on "The Unity of Action, Perception, and Knowledge." Tuesday, 11 March, 2014, 5.30 PM, Zrinyi 14, Room 412 ABSTRACT “The Unity of Action, Perception, and Knowledge” places virtue epistemology within a broader project of metaphysical, semantic, and conceptual analysis that targets human attainments more generally, whether they take the form of action, perception, or knowledge. We consider the problem of causal deviance as it arises for Donald Davidson’s account of intentional action, and for our own account of human knowledge, and we consider a similar problem for Paul Grice’s causal analysis of perception. These can be viewed as metaphysical analyses of their respective targets. Thus viewed they are defensible against common objections—of either vicious circularity or insufficient content—that have been thought lethal. Those accounts are also defensible, moreover, against critiques that have been thought to favor disjunctivist alternatives. Prominent such critiques apply only to a specific, and optional, form of analysis: namely, analysis into logically independent factors merely conjoined in the analysis. To the contrary, metaphysical analyses can be causal analyses that do not take that form. Action, perception, and knowledge are all forms of manifested competence, where a competence is a disposition to succeed in a given field of aimings—these being performances with an aim—whether the aim be intentional and conscious, or teleological and functional. In conclusion, the chapter sketches a methodology appropriate for our inquiry.
