[Koglist] invitation to a talk on`Immigrants, refugees, and the liberal state`by David Miller - Tuesday, 22 March 2016, 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 David Miller (University of Oxford) on Immigrants, refugees, and the liberal state Tuesday, 22 March 2016, 5.30 PM, Zrinyi 14, Room 412 ABSTRACT Why do liberal states face a moral dilemma when confronted, as many are at present, with pressures for mass inward migration? On the one hand, liberal principles of freedom, equality and human rights push them towards leaving the door as wide open as possible. On the other hand, as democratic welfare states that wish to remain stable over time, they are unavoidably concerned about the size and composition of their own citizen bodies. This impels them to impose limits on immigration and to give priority to those who are already connected in one way or another to the political community. The resulting balance is, however, upset when many of those seeking to enter are refugees. What are liberal states required to do in these circumstances? I argue that because of the arbitrary way in which asylum claims are likely to be lodged, states are morally obliged to co-operate in creating burden-sharing schemes for refugee admissions, and to fulfil their obligations under these schemes. They cannot, however, be forced into such schemes unwillingly, nor can they be obliged to ‘take up the slack’ if other states default once the scheme has been established. As a result, we cannot rule out the possibility of a tragic clash between the human rights of the refugees and the right of a liberal state to control its own destiny.

[Koglist] [CEU Cogsci Talks] CEU Departmental Colloquium, March 9: Alan Leslie (Rutgers University) - Objects: Where do they come from and where do they go?

by Barbara Pomiechowska

The CEU Department of Cognitive Science cordially invites you to its talk by: Prof. *Alan LESLIE* (Rutgers University) [web <http://psych.rutgers.edu/faculty-profiles-a-contacts/124-alan-leslie>] *Title:* *Objects: Where do they come from and where do they go?* *Date*: Wednesday, 9 March 2016 *Time:* 17:00-18:30 *Location*: Department of Cognitive Science, CEU, Oktober 6 st. 7, room 101 *Abstract:* The origins of the “object concept” is one the oldest and most central questions in the study of cognitive development. Traditional accounts assume that objects emerge from the association of sensory features to form bundles that are stored in long term memory and used in recognition. Piaget introduced us to the ubiquitous problem of persistence in the 3-D world of the infant. A sea-change in our view of infant cognition took place in the 1980’s through the work of Spelke, Baillargeon, and others who introduced us to the object principles and infant physical reasoning. Slightly more recently, Scholl and I, together with the Carey group, forged links between infant object cognition and ideas drawn from the study of object based attention in adults. This work introduced object indexing, a mechanism of object-based attention, and the object file, a data structure, combining a ‘sticky’ index with feature binding. It also provided a framework for understanding how infants can attend to multiple objects simultaneously, a discovery that Wynn had made a few years before. This talk will summarize work from my lab and others documenting how infants in the first year bind sensory features to multiple object indexes in working memory (WM). Indexing and WM are both thought of as “intermediate level” mechanisms of object cognition, and WM as where the bottom-up and the top-down come together. Whereas limits on indexing are established early in the first year and don’t change thereafter, limits on feature binding are a severe one object at 6 months and grow to two and then to three objects by 12 months. I end with the notion of “concept binding”. We are looking forward to see you.

[Koglist] invitation to a talk on`Children as Negative Externalities?`by Serena Olsarett - Tuesday, 8 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 Serena Olsaretti (ICREA-Universitat Pompeu Fabra) on Children as Negative Externalities? Tuesday, 8 March 2016, 5.30 PM, Zrinyi 14, Room 412 ABSTRACT According to some egalitarians, justice requires holding people liable for some consequences of their choices, and since under fair background conditions many or most parents choose whether to have children, justice requires that parents be held liable for the costs of children. This line of argument seems particularly forceful when parents´having children creates negative externalities for others. This paper critically examines this view and shows that scrutinising the question it answers - that of who should bear the costs of children - is more important than has been realised to date for formulating a complete and defensible theory of justice Note: Professor Olasretti has provided two background articles for review before her talk that are now posted on the e-learning site.

[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").
