Heraclitean Time (Beyond Presentism and Growing Blocks)
Tuesday, 20. January 2015, 5.30 PM, Zrinyi 14, Room 412
ABSTRACT
I describe a metaphysical conception of physical reality, which I call the Flux-first view, which treats change, or flux, as fundamental rather than being: states of affairs, objects/events in spacetime. The core theses are that (i) change is prior to time and (ii) change is prior to states of affairs-states are derivative from prior process. The essence of the approach is the fundamental role of properties is not to be things possessed or instantiated, the orthodox view, but to be aspects of change. This is captured in the idea that the fundamental units of concrete reality are what I call 'fluxions': dynamic 'bundles' of properties or forms. As such, Flux-first is a kind of dynamic structuralism--not the familiar 4-dimensionalist (static) structuralism. The view of time in Flux-first is not Presentism or Growing block (or moving spotlight). It's certainly not the 4-dimensional, block universe view. Call it 'Heraclitean

UNIVERSAL LOGIC SCHOOL, ISTANBUL, June 20-24, 2015
http://www.uni-log.org/ULS5
An amazing school of logic with 30 tutorials
given by scholars from all over the world
divided in three groups:
1) HISTORY OF LOGIC
Aristotle, Boethius, Leibniz, Kant, Hegel, Boole, Husserl, Jain Logic, ...
2) LOGIC AND X - Relations/Applications of logic with/to other fields:
Logic and Music, Logic and Politics, Logic and the Theory of Relativity,
Logic and Colours, Logic and Fiction, ...
3) LOGIC THEOREMS - Presentation of the most important theorems of modern
logic:
Completeness, Incompleteness, Compactness, Cut-elimination, Lindström and
more ...
The school is sponsored by the Association for Symolic Logic
ASL student travel awards are available.
Before this school in Istanbul (a city full of history previoulsy known as
Constantinople and Byzantium)
there will be the 10th Panhellenic Logic Symposium June 11-15 in Samos
Island where Pythagoras was born.
https://samosweb.aegean.gr/pls10/
A travel by bus from the nearby port of Kusadasi in Turkey up to Istanbul
will be organized with stops on famous historical sites: Ephesus, Troy,
etc. Special arrangements will exist for participants who wish to attend
both conferences.
The school in Istanbul will be followed June 25-30 by the 5th World
Congress on Universal Logic
that will also take place in Istanbul
including 15 invited speakers, 15 workshops, a secret speaker and
the contest The Future of Logic

Reminder:
The CEU Department of Cognitive Science cordially invites you to its
first talk of 2015 (as part of its Departmental Colloquium series)
by
Patrick Haggard (UCL)
Date: Wednesday, January 14, 2014 - 17:00-18:30
Location: Department of Cognitive Science, CEU, Frankel Leó út 30-34.,
Room G15
Voluntary action and social responsibility
Abstract:
Our social culture provides a dualist concept of action: it assumes
that the conscious mind decides on our actions, that we could therefore
have chosen alternative actions to those we did choose, and that we are
therefore responsible for what we have done. This talk will examine two
key questions about voluntary action from a neuroscientific point of
view. First, I will discuss how the brain's capacity for voluntary
action is related to conscious awareness. I will show that conscious
experience is a product of brain activity that precedes action, and not
a cause of it. In the second part of the talk, I will consider how a
mechanistic, neuroscientific account of voluntary action might relate to
the essential social concept of individual responsibility.

The CEU Department of Cognitive Science cordially invites you to a talk
(as part of its Departmental Colloquium series)
by
Anna Babarczy, Budapest University of Technology and Economics
on
Can the comprehension of abstract language be rooted in sensory
experiences?
Date: Wed, March 14, 2012 - 17:00 - 18:30
Location: Department of Cognitive Science, CEU, Frankel Leó út 30-34.,
Room G15
Can the comprehension of abstract language be rooted in sensory
experiences?
ABSTRACT: The question of learning the meaning of abstract language
(roughly, expressions with no perceptible referents) has been bugging
philosophers for thousands of years. More recently, a number of
experimental paradigms have emerged trying to shed light on this issue.
The basic idea explored in the talk is that people understand abstract
(metaphorical) expressions by linking them to sensory or bodily
experiences. If this is the case, we should be able to show that these
experiences affect people’s interpretation of abstract utterances. The
talk looks at the evidence we have so far (pro and contra).We're looking
forward to see you there (Frankel Leo u. 30-34) !

PhD studentships are available for the doctoral program in Cognitive Science at Central European University (CEU), Budapest, Hungary.
The Department of Cognitive Science at CEU invites applications for doctoral student positions starting in September 2015. This is a research-based training program in human cognition with social cognition and learning as core themes. Research topics include cooperation, communication, social learning, cultural transmission, embodied cognition, joint action, cognitive development, strategic decision-making, problem solving, visual cognition, sensory and statistical learning, visual psychophysics, computational neuroscience, and social cognitive neuroscience. Students will follow courses in cognitive psychology, philosophy of mind, cognitive anthropology, computational cognition and linguistics, and will receive practical research training in the laboratories of the members of this new department. Faculty includes
Gergely CSIBRA
(cognitive development, cognitive neuroscience)
József FISER
(visual perception and cognition, biological and statistical learning)
György GERGELY
(infant cognition, developmental psychopathology)
Christophe HEINTZ
(culture and cognition, scientific cognition, behavioral economics)
Günther KNOBLICH
(embodied cognition and social cognition, problem solving)
Ágnes M. KOVACS
(development of social cognition, theory of mind, mental representations)
Máté LENGYEL
(computational neuroscience, learning and memory)
Natalie SEBANZ

Applicants are expected to hold an internationally recognized Master’s or comparable degree in the standard disciplines that constitute cognitive science. A comparable degree in other Social Sciences, Humanities, or other disciplines will also be considered in case of an excellent academic record. We will consider the applications of exceptional students who only hold a Bachelor degree, provided it is in a discipline closely associated to cognitive science.
Application deadline: February 1, 2015. For further details see
