[Koglist] [CEU Cogsci Talks] CogSci CEU Departmental Colloquium: March 11, Wednesday: Katja Liebal (Freie Universitat Berlin) - Measuring intentionality in great ape gestural communication

by Gyorgyne Finta

The CEU Department of Cognitive Science cordially invites you to its talk (as part of its Departmental Colloquium series) by Katja Liebal (Freie Universitat Berlin) Date: Wednesday, March 11, 2015 - 17:00-18:30 NEW Location: Department of Cognitive Science, CEU, Oktober 6 street 7, 1st floor, room 101. Measuring intentionality in great ape gestural communication Intentionality is a key feature of human language. Therefore, comparative researchers interested in the evolutionary origins of human language dedicated much attention to the communication of other primates, particularly their gestures, to assess whether they also use these signals intentionally. In my talk, I will introduce the criteria commonly used to identify intentional gesture use in nonhuman primates and will discuss their validity and limitations in regard to their suitability as markers of intentional communication. I will focus on 1) the social use of gestures considering aspects such as audience effects and the sender’s adjustment to the recipient’s attentional state and 2) the flexible use of gestures if the sender’s initial communicative attempts fail by addressing the persistence and elaboration of gesture use. Based on this, I propose a tentative set of criteria that may be most appropriate for identifying intentional gestural communication in nonhuman primates. Keywords: great apes, intentional, flexibility, adjustment to audience - See more at: http://cognitivescience.ceu.edu/events/2015-03-11/departmental-colloquium-l… We're looking forward to see you there (Oktober 6 street 7, 101) !

[Koglist] [CEU Cogsci Talks] REMINDER: Teresa McCormack (Queen's University Belfast), Wednesday March 4, 5PM, Department of Cognitive Science

by Dora Kampis

Dear All, This is a reminder that the next talk in the CEU Cognitive Science seminar series will by given by: Teresa McCormack (Queen's University Belfast) Date: Wednesday, March 4, 2015, 5 PM Location: Department of Cognitive Science, CEU, Frankel Leó út 30-34., Room G15 Title: The development of regret in young children Regret plays an important role in our mental lives and impacts on our decision-making. However, developmental psychologists have only recently begun to conduct research to establish when regret first emerges. I will describe this recent experimental work, which has attempted to pin-point the age at which children first experience regret. I will also discuss our experimental studies that demonstrate that children’s decision-making improves when they start to experience regret, including a description of preliminary evidence that indicates that the ability to experience regret helps children learn to delay gratification. I will finish by discussing our most recent work that has examined the development of regret in the context of prosocial decision-making. 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] invitation to a talk on`Norms of Fiction-Making: the Fictionality of Films`by Manuel García-Carpintero - Thursday, 12 March!!!!, 5.30 PM, Zrinyi 14, Room 412

by Krisztina Biber

The CEU Department of Philosophy cordially invites you to a talk (as part of its Departmental Colloquium series) by Manuel García-Carpintero (LOGOS, University of Barcelona) on Norms of Fiction-Making: the Fictionality of Films Thursday, 12 March!!!! 2015, 5.30 PM, Zrinyi 14, Room 412 ABSTRACT Under the influence of Walton (1990), several writers including Currie (1990), Lamarque & Olsen (1994), Davies (2007, ch. 3, 2012) and Stock (2011, ms) have proposed accounts of the distinction between fiction and non-fiction on which the former essentially involves an invited response of imagining or make-believe. Forcefully contesting these views in a recent series of papers, Stacie Friend (2008, 2011, 2012) argues for the claim that “there is no conception of ‘imagining’ or ‘make-believe’ that distinguishes a response specific to fiction as opposed to non-fiction” (2012, 182-3), recommending “that we give up the quest for necessary and sufficient conditions for fictionality” (2008, 166). Instead, Friend advances an account of fiction and non-fiction as genres – super-genres encompassing species such as the historical novel on the one hand or literary biography on the other. Following here another influential work by Walton (1970), she proposes a relational, historical, context-sensitive account of such genres. Friend (2012, 188) appeals to Walton’s distinction between standard, non-standard and variable properties; in particular, she counts prescriptions to imagine as a standard property of fiction. In thus relying on some relatively intrinsic properties, over and above the purely relational ones, her account is an impure version of genealogical-institutional accounts of kinds, thereby differing from the infamous account ofart as a category conferred without constraints by “the Artworld” (2012, 193). In recent work (García-Carpintero 2013), I have defended a version of the prescriptions to imagine account of fiction from Friend’s criticisms. Like Currie and the other writers, I suggest to think of fictions as (results of) speech acts; unlike them, however, I take the normative characterization literally, assuming an Austinian account of such acts in contrast to the Gricean account in terms of communicative intentions that these authors rely on. Independently of the present dispute, a normative account fares better relative to the intentionalism/conventionalism debate about the interpretation of fictions. More to the present point, by separating the constitutive nature of fiction from the vagaries of context-sensitive genre classification, it allows us to grant the forceful points that Friend makes, while rejecting her main claim. On the suggested view, prescriptions to imagine are not mere Waltonian standard properties of fictions, but are constitutive of them, and thus imagining does distinguish a response specific to fiction as opposed to non-fiction. The historically changing, contextual features that Friend relies on have an important role to play; not in the determination of the fiction/non-fiction normative kinds, but rather of their applications to particular cases – i.e., in establishing when a work is to be evaluated as one or the other of those kinds, if this is a determinate matter at all. Debates about fictionality like the one just rehearsed are typically held with literary works as illustrative paradigm cases. In my contribution, I aim to re-evaluate the debate by focusing instead on film. I will examine the extent to which the outlined proposal can distinguish paradigm cases of fictional films from paradigm cases of non-fictional (documentary) films, and how it can handle both the intrusion of reality in fictional film-works and that of imagination in purportedly veridical film-works. I will also examine how the account can handle controversial cases, such as some of Herzog’s (alleged) documentaries. I will argue that the proposal improves on alternative speech-account accounts that assume the Gricean paradigm by Carroll (1997), Currie (1999), Plantinga (2005) or Ponech (1997).

[Koglist] invitation to a talk on`Spinoza's Ethics and the Hebrew Bible`by Eric Schliesser - Monday, 9 March!!!! 2015, 5.30 PM, Zrinyi 14, Room 412

by Krisztina Biber

The CEU Department of Philosophy cordially invites you to a talk (as part of its Departmental Colloquium series) by Eric Schliesser (Ghent University) on Spinoza's Ethics and the Hebrew Bible Monday, 9 March!!!! 2015, 5.30 PM, Zrinyi 14, Room 412 ABSTRACT Spinoza's Ethics tends to be treated as the epitome of an austere rationalist metaphysics informed by the Principle of Sufficient Reason. Yet, it is a little noticed fact that at various points Spinoza engages with the Hebrew Bible. Somewhat surprising, given the very critical stance toward Scripture exhibited by his Theological Political Treatise (published anonymously 1670), his comments on the Hebrew Bible are largely favorable (although at times obscure). More surprising yet, Spinoza seems to exhibit a form of rationalizing the Bible which elsewhere he associates with Maimonides and condemns. In tackling these issues, this paper argues that Spinoza self-consciously offers his Ethics as an emendation of the Hebrew Bible. Moreover, by exploring Spinoza's willingness to place his work in a larger tradition, we learn something about Spinoza's understanding of piety and the nature of philosophy.
