News from Science & Consciousness Review

by Thomas Zoëga Ramsøy

Science & Consciousness Review ( http://psych.pomona.edu/scr ) has released new articles and reviews: _______________________ EDITORIAL REVIEW --- FIFTH COMMENTARY ON CRICK & KOCH The 10 point framework and the altogether too hard basket - By Colin Hales The large footprints of the Crick/Koch duo at the frontier of knowledge can be a little daunting, which is why I was concerned at the very first paragraph of A Framework for Consciousness (1). It says that qualia are too hard and it appears fruitless to approach them head on. Qualia are then tacitly assumed emergent from the framework presented. I know the work is entitled A framework, not The framework, but from Crick and Koch it read a little like Qualia cannot be approached from outside the framework. I dont think this was the intent, but it may be that the plausible explanation they need is stopped by the framework.

Philosophy of Science Colloquium, April

Department of HISTORY AND PHILOSOPHY OF SCIENCE Eotvos University, Budapest Pazmany P. setany 1/A Budapest Phone/Fax: (36-1) 372 2924 Department's Home Page:http://hps.elte.hu P h i l o s o p h y o f S c i e n c e C o l l o q u i u m Room 6.54 (6th floor) Monday 4:00 PM ____________________________________ April Program 7 April4:00 PM 6th floor 6.54 T i m C r a n e <http://www.ucl.ac.uk/philosophy/f-staf.htm#crane> Deprtment of Philosophy University College London The problem of perception and its solution It can seem puzzling why there is a philosophy of perception at all. Perception is a psychological process or capacity which is studied empirically by psychology, and some aspects of our perceptual capacities are now well-understood. What is it, then, that philosophy can contribute to the understanding of perception? Some philosophers have argued that the main role of the philosophy of perception is to explain how perceptions can give us reasons for empirical beliefs. On this conception of the philosophy of perception, the only problems of perception are epistemological. In this paper, I argue against this conception, and argue that (regardless of the answer to these epistemological questions) there is another problem of perception, which is the result of a conflict between some fundamental assumptions contained in our ordinary concept of perception. The worry here is not that perceptions will not justify belief, but that our concept of perception is incoherent. I examine the intentionalist and disjunctivist solutions to the problem, and present some considerations in favour of intentionalism. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 14 April 4:00 PM 6th floor 6.54 J o h n K a d v a n y <mailto:KADVANY@aol.com> Policy and Decision Science, Menlo Park, CA From Hegel to Lakatos: Historical Method in the Philosophy of Mathematics and Science During his career, and since his death in 1974, some noticed latent Hegelian ideas in Imre Lakatos? approach to combining philosophy and history in his theories of mathematical and scientific method. This talk explains the importance of Lakatos? Hegelianism in his masterpiece on mathematical method, Proofs and Refutations, and in his methodology of scientific research programmes. Topics to be discussed include: the historiography of Proofs and Refutations and Hegel?s Phenomenology of Spirit; pedagogical philosophy in Hegel and Lakatos; skepticism in nineteenth-century mathematics; the history of Gödel?s Second Incompleteness Theorem; Lakatos? ?changing logic? of scientific discovery; classical political economy as a research programme; research programmes and criticism of scientific practice; and the continuity of Lakatos? ideas with those of Georg Lukács. The talk summarizes the philosophical content of my book, Imre Lakatos and the Guises of Reason (Duke University Press 2001).

Egyfelo"l a keresztény nyugat szembesült az arab tudomány gazdagságával és felso"bbrendu" voltával, valamint igyekezett annak eredményeit asszimilálni, másfelo"l pedig az új tudással nem kevés olyan anyag is érkezett, amely elgondolkodásra késztette a nyugat filozófusait. A fordítók ugyanis a matematikai, csillagászati, optikai és orvosi traktátusokkal együtt (so"t nem ritkán ezeket félretéve) különösen szívesen fordították a divináció, a természetes mágia és a talizmán mágia alapszövegeit. Az új tudomány érkezése olyan helyzetet teremtett, amelyre talán nem túlzás a ?paradigmaváltás? kifejezést alkalmazni. Nem csupán azért, mert a természetro"l való tudás mennyisége drasztikusan megno"tt a jellege pedig megváltozott, hanem azért is, mert az új szövegek új kihívással szembesítették a nyugat tudósközösségeit: meg kellett határozni, hogy a tudásanyag mely része mino"sül elfogadhatónak és tudományosnak, és mit kell sürgo"sen kizárni a legitim tudományból, egyszóval állást kellett foglalni a demarkáció kérdésében. A helyzet átmeneti voltára jellemzo", hogy számunkra meglepo" tudástípusok is aspirálhattak a tudomány státuszra: a 12. század néhány oktatási kézikönyve a necromantia tudományát ? bármit is értettek e terminus alatt ? a hetedik szabad mu"vészetként, azaz az oktatás legalapveto"bb elemeként említette. Elo"adásomban 13. századi latin szerzo"k tudományklasszifikációit segítségül híva azt a mechanizmust igyekszem rekonstruálni, amelynek folyamán eldo"lt, hogy mely arab forrásból fordított mágiatípusok nyernek bebocsátást a hivatalos tudomány védo"bástyái közé, és melyek mino"sülnek veszélyes ? de nem megsemmisítendo", csupán félretéve mego"rzendo" ?tudásanyagnak. Ha vizsgálatunkat kiterjesztjük az egész középkorra, megfigyelhetjük, hogy amíg a ?mágia? terminus egyértelmu" elutasítás tárgya volt a kora középkorban, addig a korszak végére korlátozott mértékben lehetségessé vált egyes mágia formák mellett érvelni. A tanult mágia differenciálódásával és az egyes mágiatípusok elkülönülésével párhuzamosan, bizonyos mágiához kötheto" motívumok és teóriák ?pozitivizációjáról?, tudományossá szelídüléséro"l számolhatunk be. Úgy tu"nik, hogy nem csak a tudomány, de a mágia fogalma is történetileg változó, állandó mozgásban lévo" és dinamikus konstrukció, valamint, hogy végso" soron egy tágabb értelemben vett tudósközösség döntésén múlik, hogy mi számít egyetemi szinten oktatható tudásnak, és mi mino"sül veszélyes tévelygésnek. Ezek a következtetések persze nem okoznak meglepetést azoknak, akik figyelemmel követték az elmúlt húsz-harminc év tudományfilozófiai és tudásszociológiai fejleményeit. Azonban amíg e filozófiai tételek illusztrálására és alátámasztására rendszerint 17. századi vagy késo"bbi, modern példák szolgáltatnak történeti anyagot, addig én azt próbálom felderíteni, hogy hogyan lehet hasonló szempontok mentén újraolvasni a 13. század egyes vitáit, azaz hogyan lehet egy olyan korszakot vizsgálni, amely sokkal kevesebb tudománytörténeti és szociológiai információt hagyott ránk, és amelyhez összehasonlíthatatlanul nehézkesebb a hozzáférésünk. ___________________________________ The 60-minute lecture is followed by a 10-minute break.
