[Koglist] invitation to a talk on` Libet’s Confusions` by Hanoch Ben-Yami - Tuesday, 3 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 Hanoch Ben-Yami (CEU) on Libet’s Confusions Tuesday, 3 March 2015, 5.30 PM, Zrinyi 14, Room 412 ABSTRACT I try to demonstrate a possible contribution of philosophy to the sciences by exposing conceptual confusions in Libet’s empirical work on free will. The elimination of these confusions show that his research failed to establish what he claimed it does. Libet measured patterns of electric potential in subjects’ brain while asking them to report when they became conscious of an urge or decision to perform a certain action. Relying on the results he concluded that the urge or decision does not affect action, and hence that we have no free will. However, his research relies on a false picture of what free action involves. Libet thought that free action should be caused by a mental event – an urge or decision – which is the cause of action. But this mechanical picture of the mental is not entailed from our criteria for classifying an action as voluntary, free, intentional and so on. An action is free if the agent would have done something else in the same circumstances had he been given a good reason for that, if he knew what he was doing, if he didn’t act under duress, and so on. Accordingly, Libet’s experiment was irrelevant to the question, whether the subjects acted out of their free will. And moreover, of course they acted freely: had they had a good reason to act earlier or later, say, they would have done so.

[Koglist] [CEU Cogsci Talks] Reminder: CogSci CEU Departmental Colloquium: February 25, Wednesday: Ferenc Huoranszki (CEU PHIL) - The Issue about Dispositions

by Gyorgyne Finta

REMINDER: The CEU Department of Cognitive Science cordially invites you to its talk of 2015 (as part of its Departmental Colloquium series) by Ferenc Huoranszki (CEU Department of Philosophy) Date: Wednesday, February 25, 2015 - 17:00-18:30 Location: Department of Cognitive Science, CEU, Frankel Leó út 30-34., Room G15 The Issue about Dispositions Most of us think that some objects are fragile, some chemicals are poisonous, and some people are honest. But philosophers, or at least some of them, find such claims puzzling. The reason why they find them puzzling is that being fragile, being poisonous, and being honest are dispositional predicates. In this talk I shall tell a story about why many philosophers from the early 20th century on have found the ascription of dispositions puzzling, and how some have attempted to resolve that puzzle. I shall also briefly indicate which significance, if any, such debates might have to empirical research concerning the micro-foundation of macroscopic behavior. - See more at: http://cognitivescience.ceu.edu/events/2015-02-25/departmental-colloquium-f… We're looking forward to see you there (Frankel Leo u. 30-34) !

[Koglist] invitation to a talk on`Observing Symmetries in Physics` by James Ladyman - Tuesday, 24 February 5.30 PM, Zrinyi 14, Room 41

by Krisztina Biber

The CEU Department of Philosophy cordially invites you to a talk (as part of its Departmental Colloquium series) by James ladyman (university of bristol) on observing symmetries in physics Tuesday, 24 February 2015, 5.30 PM, Zrinyi 14, Room 412 ABSTRACT There is a debate about whether so-called local symmetries in physics have direct empirical consequences. In this paper I defend the orthodoxy according to which they don’t against a recent argument by Hilary Greaves and David Wallace. In the course of doing so I will first explain what physical symmetries are, emphasising the distinction between transformations of representations and transformations of physical systems, and then the differences between various kinds of symmetry. I will then explicate the nature of so-called ‘Galileo’s Ship Scenarios’, and go on to argue that that so far it has not been shown that there are any that are only explicable by local symmetries.
