"The Works and Attributes of Soul: A Non-Functionalist Interpretation of Cognitive Contents in Aristotle's De Anima I"
Tuesday, 18 March, 2014, 5.30 PM, Zrinyi 14, Room 412
ABSTRACT
Over the past forty years, it has been increasingly common for scholars of the De Anima to treat Aristotle as a sort of proto-functionalist. On such an interpretation, the Aristotelian souls of living organisms explain psychological activities such as perception, emotion, and desire by subsuming them within the wider context of an organism's purposive behaviours, and all genuinely scientific definitions of these activities will eschew references to private mental contents in favour of functional roles occupied by a variety of material realizers. In this way, it is claimed, Aristotle avoids the traditional pitfalls associated with Platonic Dualism, and provides a uniquely hylomorphic solution to the mind-body problem. Since all putatively psychic states are in fact only bodily states understood in a certain way, there is no question as to how such psychic states might be capable of causing or being produced by various physical changes, and no need to posit a sui generis realm of psychic or mental contents.
I believe we have several reasons to reject this proto-functionalist interpretation, and take
Aristotle's considered explanations of various cognitive activities to require precisely the sorts of irreducibly psychic or mental states it intends to eliminate. In this talk, I will examine some of these reasons, and offer a close reading of two De Anima I passages that are standardly held to require such proto-functionalist construals. When read in their proper context, I shall claim, neither of these texts demands the sorts of reductionist readings favoured by contemporary interpreters, and each in fact contains claims and arguments which suggest the ontologically richer account I favour.

"The Unity of Action, Perception, and Knowledge."
Tuesday, 11 March, 2014, 5.30 PM, Zrinyi 14, Room 412
ABSTRACT
“The Unity of Action, Perception, and Knowledge” places virtue
epistemology within a broader project of metaphysical, semantic, and
conceptual analysis that targets human attainments more generally,
whether they take the form of action, perception, or knowledge. We
consider the problem of causal deviance as it arises for Donald
Davidson’s account of intentional action, and for our own account of
human knowledge, and we consider a similar problem for Paul Grice’s
causal analysis of perception. These can be viewed as metaphysical
analyses of their respective targets. Thus viewed they are defensible
against common objections—of either vicious circularity or insufficient
content—that have been thought lethal.
Those accounts are also defensible, moreover, against critiques that
have been thought to favor disjunctivist alternatives. Prominent such
critiques apply only to a specific, and optional, form of analysis:
namely, analysis into logically independent factors merely conjoined in
the analysis. To the contrary, metaphysical analyses can be causal
analyses that do not take that form. Action, perception, and knowledge
are all forms of manifested competence, where a competence is a
disposition to succeed in a given field of aimings—these being
performances with an aim—whether the aim be intentional and conscious,
or teleological and functional.
In conclusion, the chapter sketches a methodology appropriate for our
inquiry.
