[koglist] invitation to a talk on`Belief Retention: Kaplan vs. Frege`by Vojislav Bozickovic, 20 March, 5.30 PM

by Krisztina Biber

The CEU Department of Philosophy cordially invites you to a talk (as part of its Departmental Colloquium series) by Vojislav Bozickovic (University of Belgrade, SEP Fellow at CEU Department of Philosophy) on `Belief Retention: Kaplan vs. Frege` Tuesday, 20 March, 2012, 5.30 PM, Zrinyi 14, Room 412 ABSTRACT I propose a view of belief retention which enables us to account for the data brought up by Kaplan in relation to the Rip Van Winkle case who slept for twenty years believing he slept for only one day. After discussing this case, I make some general claims about belief retention and end up claiming that it amounts to having a piece of empirical information about the day remembered provided the subject does not make a division in her input information.

[koglist] BBS Call for Commentary Proposals: Schilbach et al.

by Behavioral and Brain Sciences

Dear Dr. Qwerty: We are writing you to announce that BBS has just accepted an article for open peer commentary in BBS. The article was already reviewed, and we are now accepting commentary proposals. If you are interested in writing a commentary, you are welcome to submit a short proposal (see instructions below). No action is required if you aren't interested. Please DO NOT submit a full commentary article unless you are formally invited---AFTER you submit a commentary *proposal*. We will review all commentary proposals and issue invitations around the end of April. Also, please be aware that we typically receive far more commentary proposals than we can accommodate with formal invitations. When choosing invitations, we balance over multiple factors, including the interest of the commentary itself, the commentator's expertise, whether the commentator's work has been discussed in the target article, and other considerations. NOW PROCESSING COMMENTARY PROPOSALS ON: Target Article: Toward a second-person neuroscience Authors: Leonhard Schilbach, Bert Timmermans, Vasudevi Reddy, Alan Costall, Gary Bente, Tobias Schlicht, and Kai Vogeley Deadline for Commentary Proposals: April 3, 2012 Abstract: In spite of the remarkable progress made in the burgeoning field of social neuroscience, the neural mechanisms that underlie social encounters are only beginning to be studied and could ?paradoxically? be seen as representing the 'dark matter' of social neuroscience. Recent conceptual and empirical developments consistently indicate the need for investigations, which allow the study of real-time social encounters in a truly interactive manner. This suggestion is based on the premise that social cognition is fundamentally different when we are in interaction with others rather than merely observing them. In this article, we outline the theoretical conception of a second-person approach to other minds and review evidence from neuroimaging, psychophysiological studies and related fields to argue for the development of a second-person neuroscience, which will help neuroscience to really go social; this may also be relevant for our understanding of psychiatric disorders construed as disorders of social cognition. Keywords: mentalizing network; mirror neuron system; social cognition from an interactor's point of view; social cognition from an observer's point of view; 'problem' of other minds; second-person neuroscience Download Target Article Preprint: http://journals.cambridge.org/BBSJournal/Call/Schilbach_preprint COMMENTARY PROPOSALS *MUST* INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING 1. What aspect of the target article or book you would anticipate commenting on. 2. The relevant expertise you would bring to bear on the target article or book. Please include names and affiliations of your co-authors, if applicable, in the text of your commentary proposal. SUGGESTING COMMENTATORS AND NOMINATING BBS ASSOCIATES To suggest others as possible Commentators, or to nominate others for BBS Associateship status, please email bbsjournal(a)cambridge.org. http://journals.cambridge.org/BBSJournal/Inst/Assoc HOW TO SUBMIT A COMMENTARY PROPOSAL If you would like to nominate yourself for potential commentary invitation, you must submit a Commentary Proposal via our BBS Editorial Manager site: 1.

For example: "Commentary Proposal on Schilbach" 7. Approve Your Submission Editorial Manager will process your Commentary Proposal submission and will create a PDF for your approval. On the "Submissions Waiting for Author's Approval" page, you can view your PDF, edit, approve, or remove the submission. (You might have to wait several minutes for the blue "Action" menu to appear, allowing you to approve. Once you have Approved the Submission, the PDF will be sent to the editorial office. **It is VERY important that you check and approve your Commentary Proposal manuscript as described above. Otherwise, we cannot process your submission.** 8. Editorial Office Decision At the conclusion of the Commentary Proposal period, the editors will review all the submitted Commentary Proposals. An undetermined number of Commentary Proposals will be approved and those author names will be added to the final commentary invitation list. At that time you will be notified of the decision. If you are formally invited to submit a commentary, you will be asked to confirm your intention to submit by the commentary deadline. Note: Before the commentary invitations are sent, the copy-edited and revised target article will be posted for invitees. In the case of Multiple Book Review, invitees will be sent a copy of the book to be commented upon if requested. With Multiple Book Reviews, it is the book, not the précis article that is the target of commentary. Please do not write a commentary unless you have received an official invitation! BEING REMOVED FROM THE CALL EMAIL LIST If you DO NOT wish to receive Call for Commentary Proposals in the future, please reply to bbsjournal(a)cambridge.org, and type "remove" in the subject line.

[koglist] reminder: invitation to a talk on`Human Nature and the Transcendent`by John Cottingham - 13 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 John Cottingham (University of Reading) on `Human Nature and the Transcendent` Tuesday, 13 March, 2012, 5.30 PM, Zrinyi 14, Room 412 ABSTRACT This paper starts from the familiar Augustinian and Pascalian thought that human beings have “transcendent” urges — they have a certain resistance to resting content with existence defined within a given set of parameters, and have a hunger to glimpse a deeper reality than is disclosed in our ordinary mundane experience of the world. I look at three aspects of the apparent human reaching after the transcendent, namely the cosmological, the aesthetic, and the moral. Cosmologically, we recoil from the idea of brute facticity — the idea that the cosmos is in Bertrand Russell’s words. “just there”. Aesthetically, in Wordsworthian moments of rapture at the beauty of the natural world, and morally, in our recognition of the normativity of values that command our allegiance whether we like it or not, we seem to glimpse an enduring objective reality that transcends the flux of contingency. The general thrust of my argument will be that the demands of integrity, being sincere and true to the character of our own lived human experience, require us to reject deflationary or reductionist strategies for explaining away our transcendent urges; and as a result, that the field is very considerably narrowed, when it comes to understanding their significance.

[koglist] Meghívó: Nyelvi modellek, avagy „Kutya nehéz úgy hazudni, ha az ember nem ösmeri az igazságot”

by Tamás Kis

*MEGHÍVÓ* A *Társas-Kognitív Nyelvészeti Kutatócsoport, * valamint a *DAB Nyelvtudományi Munkabizottsága *és a *Hatvani István Szakkollégium* meghívja *Varjú Zoltán Nyelvi modellek, avagy "Kutya nehéz úgy hazudni, ha az ember nem ösmeri az igazságot"* című előadására *Helyszín: *MTA Debreceni Területi Bizottság (DAB) székháza (Debrecen, Thomas Mann u. 49. <http://mnytud.arts.unideb.hu/tkny/de-dab_map.html>), I. emelet "B" terem (Tanácsterem) *Időpont: *2012. március 12. (hétfő) 16:00 A nyelvészetben nem találhatunk uralkodó paradigmát. A különböző iskolák szeretik összevetni magukat, és felhívni a figyelmet riválisaik hiányosságaira. Az előadáson Norvig Chomsky statisztikai tanuláselméletet kritizáló megjegyzéseire íródott esszéje nyomán megvizsgáljuk a nyelvi adatok szerepét az adatvezérelt módszerekben. Ez a megközelítés felveti a mintavételezés problémáját, ti. miképp lehetséges egy potenciálisan végtelen rendszert, a nyelvet, véges minta alapján leírni. Míg a generatív iskola egyszerűen kikerüli ezt, az "empirikus" irányzatok számára ez központi kérdés. Shannon információelméleti modellje az ergodikus forrás fogalmával úgy tűnik megnyugtató választ ad nekünk, és megnyitja az utat az algoritmikus statisztikai modellezés felé. A zajos csatorna elemzésén keresztül bemutatjuk hogy az igazi választóvonal nem a választott vizsgálati módszerekben (szabály alapú vs. statisztikai) rejlik, hanem abban, mennyire veszi figyelembe egy modell a nyelv társas jellegét. (A témához kapcsolódó további információk az előadás honlapján<http://mnytud.arts.unideb.hu/tkny/ea2_1.html>találhatók.) Az előadásokon minden érdeklődőt örömmel lát a Társas-Kognitív Nyelvészeti Kutatócsoport, a DAB Nyelvtudományi Munkabizottsága és a Hatvani István Szakkollégium. Debrecen, 2012. március 8.
