[Koglist] invitation to two talks on`The error in non-cognitivism and the truth in the error theory`on March 1 and on `Assertion, Silence, and the norms of public` on March 2

by Krisztina Biber

The CEU Department of Philosophy cordially invites you to two talks (as part of its Departmental Colloquium series) by Bart Streumer (University of Groningen) on The error in non-cognitivism and the truth in the error theory Tuesday, 1 March 2016, 5.30 PM, Zrinyi 14, Room 412 ABSTRACT In this talk, I will compare two versions of irrealism about normativity: non-cognitivism, according to which normative judgements do not represent the world, and the error theory, according to which normative judgements do represent the world but always do so inaccurately. I will argue that non-cognitivism is incompatible with the thought that when two people make conflicting normative judgements, at most one of these judgements is correct. By contrast, I will argue, the error theory is compatible with this thought. I will conclude that the error theory is more defensible than non-cognitivism. AND by Sanford Goldberg (Northwestern University) on Assertion, Silence, and the norms of public Wednesday, 2 March 2016, 3.30 PM, Monument building (Nador 9) room 203 ABSTRACT In this talk I argue that there is a presumptive (albeit defeasible) entitlement for participants in a conversation to assume that a hearer’s silence in the face of an observed assertion indicates acceptance. I argue for this on the basis of considerations pertaining to our actual practices with assertion, together with considerations pertaining to the normative dimensions of that practice (deriving from Stalnaker’s account of the "essential effect" of assertion). One result of my thesis is that in contexts in which a hearer is known or observed to have observed an assertion, she is under prima facie normative pressure, if she rejects the assertion, to signal having done so. After defending these claims, I address the variety of contexts in which the entitlement itself is defeated (including but not limited to conditions of "silencing").

[Koglist] [CEU Cogsci Talks] CogSci CEU Colloquium: February 24, Danielle Matthews (University of Sheffield)

by Andrea Jenei

The CEU Department of Cognitive Science and the Social Mind Center cordially invites you to its talk by Danielle Matthews (Department of Psychology, University of Sheffield) https://www.shef.ac.uk/psychology/staff/academic/danielle-matthews Date: Wednesday, February 24, 2016 - 17:00-18:30 Host: Natalie Sebanz Location: Department of Cognitive Science, CEU, Oktober 6 street 7, room 101. Environmental causes of change in early language development How does variability in children’s environments lead to variability in their language skills? We have been addressing this question through the use of natural experiments, true experiments and corpus-based studies. At the heart of this work are 140 infants whose language experience and communicative abilities we have been charting from 11 months to 4 years. I will illustrate when environmental effects do and do not hold for developments including the production of pointing gestures, early vocalisations, words, multiword speech and informative discourse. I will discuss how it is possible to identify causes of change across the preschool years through intervention studies and how the challenges that face us now lie in better characterising early communicative skill, particularly in the pragmatic domain. We are looking forward to see you at the talk!

[Koglist] invitation to a talk on`Persuasion and Unlearning`by Quassim Cassam - Tuesday, 23 February, 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 Quassim Cassam (University of Warwick) on Persuasion and Unlearning Tuesday, 23 February 2016, 5.30 PM, Zrinyi 14, Room 412 ABSTRACT Some beliefs are not just false but profoundly misguided. They are based on a fundamentally flawed view of the world and have no basis in reality. Given the complex factors that underpin the formation and maintenance of such wayward beliefs, what are the prospects of persuading wayward believers to think differently? In this talk I will examine the nature and limits of persuasion in such cases. I will suggest that the challenge is to change what people think by changing how they think. Wayward believers need to unlearn established patterns of thought and epistemic conduct. I will develop an account of unlearning and explore the role of persuasion in unlearning.
