"Trope Neglect: The Moore‑Stout Debate"
Tuesday, 31 January, 2012, 5.30 PM, Zrinyi 14, Room 412
ABSTRACT
In this paper I aim to come to an understanding of how one trope
proselyte, G.F. Stout, and another apostate, G.E. Moore, contrived to
talk past one another in a famous exchange in Durham in July 1923 ("Are
The Characteristics of Particular Things Universal of Particular?"). The
result was to mislead a generation of British philosophers, leading to
their subsequent neglect of tropes (aka abstract particulars, moments
etc). I suggest that the failure of Stout and Moore to communicate arose
from a deeper disagreement, —that they failed to make explicit—, about
the contents of perceptual experience.

Social Cognition and Autism
Abstract: Social cognition as the capacity to process socially
relevant information is an essential component of the human cognitive
equipment that allows us to communicate and interact with others and
to adapt to complex affordances created by our social environment;
seemingly effortlessly we are able to generate impressions and make
inferences about the inner experience of others in everyday life.
However, the enormous variations of social behaviour and diversity in
human communication often enough challenge our capacity to understand
others and can lead to misunderstandings in social encounters.
Research activities from many different fields have identified a
variety of factors (age, gender, culture, norm deviance, language
modalities) as influential sources of variance in social information
processing. In this presentation, I will talk about psychological
processes and neural mechanisms (employing functional magnetic
resonance imaging) that underly nonverbal communication focusing on
gaze perception, impression formation and true interaction with a
special focus on the variance related to the psychopathology of
high-functioning autism. These studies are crucial to our basic
understanding of human communication and interaction and their
disturbances.

General Aim
The aim of the European Society for Philosophy & Psychology is 'to promote interaction between philosophers and psychologists on issues of common concern'. Psychologists, neuroscientists, linguists, computer scientists and biologists are encouraged to report experimental, theoretical and clinical work that they judge to have philosophical significance; and philosophers are encouraged to engage with the fundamental issues addressed by and arising out of such work. In recent years ESPP sessions have covered such topics as spatial concepts, simulation theory, attention, joint attention, reference, problems of consciousness, introspection and self-report, emotion, perception, early numerical cognition, infants' understanding of intentionality, memory and time, motor imagery, counterfactuals, the semantics/pragmatics distinction, minimalism in linguistic theory, reasoning, vagueness, mental causation, action and agency, thought without language, externalism, connectionism, hypnosis, and the interpretation of neuropsychological results.
CALL
The Society invites submitted symposia, papers and posters for this meeting.
Submitted papers are refereed and selected on the basis of quality and relevance to psychologists, philosophers and linguists. Papers should not exceed a length of 20 minutes (about 8 double-spaced pages) for a total 30 minute session. Submissions may be by abstract (ca. 500 words) but in the case of philosophical submissions a full paper is preferred. Please state the primary discipline of your paper (philosophy, psychology, or linguistics) by checking the respective box during the online submission process.
The Society also encourages joint submission of papers as symposia topics (for 3 and up to 4 speakers across different disciplines) – the convenor should submit a brief (1000 word) description of the symposium topic in addition to each participant submitting an abstract/paper – all papers considered as part of a submitted symposium will also be considered for independent presentation. The selection of talks in a symposium should be suitable to stimulate interdisciplinary discussion. There may be some financial support available for the travel expenses of symposiasts (partial coverage of costs).
There will also be poster presentations. A submission for a poster presentation should consist of a 500-word abstract. Submitted papers may also be considered for presentation as posters.
All submissions (whether abstracts or full papers) should be in PDF-format and should be properly anonymized in order to allow for blind refereeing.
THE DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSION OF PAPERS & POSTERS is 15th MAY, 2012.
THE DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSION OF SYMPOSIA PROPOSALS is 29th FEBRUARY, 2012.
Please use the online submission form to be found at: http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=espp2012
(This requires registering with EasyChair, which is easy to do and free of charge).
