"Belief and its bedfellows"
Tuesday, 9 October, 2012, 5.30 PM, Zrinyi 14, Room 412
ABSTRACT
This paper attempts to draw some lessons about the nature of belief
from considerations concerning beliefs’ ‘bedfellows’: states that are
not paradigmatic beliefs but are belief-like in certain important
respects. I examine the merits of various proposals about how to
categorize such states, before turning to the question of what such
states might be able to teach us concerning the nature of belief, the
propositional attitudes, and mental states more generally.

"How to express things in works - Envisioning Wittgenstein's Tractatus
Technico-Philosophicus"
Tuesday, 2 October, 2012, 5.30 PM, Zrinyi 14, Room 412
ABSTRACT
>From the point of view of the later Wittgenstein, his Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus can be read as providing an (albeit incomplete) reconstruction of a particular language game and its attendant form of life, namely the game of (scientifically) describing the world, or of producing a catalogue of true statements about the world. This catalogue enumerates facts, and not things - and this is because facts but not things can be expressed in speech (ausgesprochen). Wittgenstein's point but also the limits of his project become salient when expression-in-speech is contrasted to other forms of expression, e.g. musical expression or the expression of values through the life one leads. When these are taken into consideration, the world of things also comes back into view - and the question arises how things are expressed e.g. in an artwork, in a technical device, or in technoscientific working knowledge.
