It has a good chance to become an annual meeting. We need good candidates and would be very grateful if you could to convey information about the meeting to those who are interested in the theory of knowledge (Ph.D. students and young scholars, in particular) and to encourage them to apply to the School. The information about the School is put below and (more detailed) in the attached file. It is also available at our web-page: http://hektor.umcs.lublin.pl/~zlimn/school We would be also obliged for any further suggestions, addresses and contacts. Please accept in advance my apologies for any inconvenience that my request may have brought about. Faithfully yours Anna Szczesna (Organizing Committee) SECOND SCHOOL FOR THEORY OF KNOWLEDGE TIME AND PLACE: Madralin (near Warsaw), Poland, 10- 19 August 1999. It will end just before the Cracow Congress for Logic, Methodology and Philosophy of Science. PROGRAM: The main courses are going to be: (1) Dagfinn Follesdal "Meaning and Experience"; (2) Gurol Irzik "Kuhn's Linguistic Turn and Its Significance for Philosophy of Science"; (3) Sten Lindstrom "Dynamic of Belief" (4) Ernest Sosa "Contextualism and Naturalism in Epistemology"; CONDITIONS (They do NOT apply to invited speakers whose expenses are covered by organizers): 1. The cost of participation is 500 USD = the participation fee (100 USD - not refundable) + the accommodation charge (400 USD). However we expect that we should be able to pay 100 USD for some contributions, which would cover 100 USD fee. 2. There are 10 stipends (which can be divided into partial ones) but ONLY for participants from the former so-called "socialist countries). We (reasonably!) hope that the number of the stipends will be increased. DEADLINE: April 30, 1999.

conference on Mind (fwd)

by George Kampis

---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Sat, 30 Jan 1999 09:28:54 +0000 From: Stephen Clark <srlclark(a)LIVERPOOL.AC.UK> To: PHILOS-L(a)LISTSERV.LIV.AC.UK Subject: conference on Mind (fwd) Date: Fri, 29 Jan 1999 22:39:27 +0000 (BST) From: Humanist Discussion Group <humanist(a)kcl.ac.uk> >> From: "Robert L. Campbell" <campber(a)CLEMSON.EDU> Mind 4 Dublin City University, Dublin, Ireland, August 16-20, 1999 Theme: "Two Sciences of Mind" Confirmed invited speakers include: Bernard Baars David Galin Karl Pribram Stuart Hammeroff Kathy McGovern Steven Nachmanovitch Jacob Needleman Program Committee: Bernard Baars Mark Bickhard Robert Campbell Christian de Quincey Stuart Hammeroff Paul Mc Kevitt Kathy McGovern Steven Nachmanovitch Jacob Needleman Sean O Nuallain Yoshi Nakamura Max Velmans Terry Winegar Keynote addresses: Jabob Needleman: "Inner and Outer Empiricism in Consciousness Research" Bernard Baars: "The Compassionate Implications of Brain Imaging of Conscious Pain: New Vistas in Applied Cognitive Science." Stream 1: Outer and Inner empiricism in consciousness research This stream will feature papers that attempt to show how "inner" states can be elucidated with reference to external phenomena. "Inner empiricism" designates experience, or qualia. They are shaped (somehow) by brain processes or states which sense and interpret the external phenomena. The physical nature of these processes or states may tell us much about consciousness. Likewise, the argument that we are conscious of only one thing at a time because of the gating action of the nuclei reticularis thalami (Taylor, Baars, etc) is indicative of the kind of thinking we are trying to encourage. In this vein, pain experience and its imperfect relationship to neural activity are similarly relevant. We particularly welcome papers that feature empirical data, or, lacking these data, show a grasp of the range of disciplines necessary to do justice to the topic. Papers are also invited that - Interpret qualia in terms of a quantum-mechanics based panpsychism (or, in current terms, pan-protopsychism) - Establish links with developments like Whitehead's pan-experientialism and process thought -Interrelate physiological processes at the neural level with current thought in QM - Emphasize "relational empiricism", ie second-person considerations - Investigate the brain processes or states giving rise to qualia at whatever level the writer considers appropriate (eg intra-cellular cytoskeletal activities and/or quantum-level phenomena). - Involve studies of central pain states as well as other curiosities like allodynia, spontaneous analgesia, pain asymbolia, and hypnotic analgesia. The invited talks include: David Galin "The Experience of 'Spirit' in Cognitive Terms." Stuart Hameroff "Quantum Computing and Consciousness" Steve Nachmanovitch "Creativity and Consiousness" Each of these talks will be followed by a panel discussion discussing respectively, consciousness as explored experientially, through scientific investigation, and in the arts. Stream 2: Foundations of Cognitive Science Co-chairs: Sean O Nuallain Dublin City University, Dublin 9, Ireland (sonualla(a)compapp.dcu.ie) Robert L. Campbell Department of Psychology, Clemson University, Clemson, SC USA (campber(a)clemson.edu) WHAT THE STREAM IS ABOUT Though deep and contentious questions of theory and metatheory have always been prevalent in Cognitive Science--they arise whenever an attempt is made to define CS as a discipline--they have frequently been downrated by researchers, in favor of empirical work that remains safely within the confines of established theories and methods. Our goal to is redress the balance. We encourage participants in this stream to raise and discuss such questions as: * the adequacy of computationalist accounts of mind * the adequacy of conceptions of mental representation as structures that encode structures out in the environment * the consequences of excluding emotions, consciousness, and the social realm from the purview of cognitive studies * the consequences of Newell and Simon's "scientific bet" that developmental constraints do not have to be studied until detailed models of adult cognition have been constructed and tested * the relationship between cognitive science and formal logic A wide range of theoretical perspectives is welcome, so long as the presenters are willing to engage in serious discussion with the proponents of perspectives that are different from their own: * Vygotskian approaches to culture and cognition * Dynamic Systems theories * Piagetian constructivism * interactivism * neuroscience accounts such as those of Edelman and Grossberg * accounts of emergence in general, and emergent knowledge in particular * perception and action robotics * functional linguistics * genetic algorithms * Information Procesing * connectionism * evolutionary epistemology ******************** Contributors will be asked to submit short papers (3000 word limit) in the form of ASCII text files (HTML files are also welcome, but are optional) to Robert Campbell (for stream 2) and Sean O Nuallain (stream 1). The deadline is March 1, 1999. We will email notification of acceptance or rejection by April 1. The standard presentations during the streams will be 20-minute talks and poster sessions. *********** The "MIND" conferences have normally had their proceedings published by John Benjamins. We have already been approached by prospective publishers for Mind 4. All accepted papers and posters will be included in a preprint. Robert L.

workshop on logic (fwd)

by George Kampis

---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Sat, 30 Jan 1999 09:30:04 +0000 From: Stephen Clark <srlclark(a)LIVERPOOL.AC.UK> To: PHILOS-L(a)LISTSERV.LIV.AC.UK Subject: workshop on logic (fwd) Date: Fri, 29 Jan 1999 22:39:27 +0000 (BST) From: Humanist Discussion Group <humanist(a)kcl.ac.uk> >> From: Dov Gabbay <dg(a)dcs.kcl.ac.uk> ***** WORKSHOP ON PROOF THEORY FOR CONDITIONAL AND NON-MONOTONIC LOGIC ****** DOV GABBAY AND HOWARD BARRINGER Conditional logic and non-monotonic logic are central areas in philosophy, computer science and language. Moreover, the connection between non-monotonic consequence "A entails B" and the conditional "A>B" is well known, so too are the formal similarities between the conditional and substuctural implications. The semantic modelling (possible worlds, probabilistic, translational, etc) of the conditional and non-monotonic consequence seems to be relatively well developed but not much work has been done on the proof-theoretic aspects. Put simply, we need systems which can do the following: Given a (non-monotonic/conditional) database Delta and given a formula C (which could be of the form A>B ), we need formal but intuitive algorithmic, proof procedures (e.g. tableaux, Gentzen, goal directed, LDS etc.) for determining whether D follows from Delta . Furthermore, we need to correlate different such proof systems within the landscape of known semantically presented conditional /non-monotonic logics. This workshop calls for papers in this area covering some of (but not exclusively) of the topics below: * proof rules for conditional/non-monotonic logics; * connections between non-monotonic consequence and conditionals; * connections with belief revision and the Ramsey test (no triviality result holds if the database is non-monotonic); * time, action and the conditional; * conditional proof theory compared to substructural proof theory; * translations of conditional systems into classical and/or modal logic; * labelled proof systems for conditional logic; * executable conditional logic. The workshop will take place during the second week of the ESSLLI Summer School (August 16-20, 1999) and allows for up to 12 30-45 minute lectures. The ESSLLI Summer School is organized under the auspices of the European Association for Logic, Language and Information (FoLLI). Previous ESSLLI Summer Schools have been highly successful, attracting around 500 students from Europe and elsewhere. The school has developed into an important meeting place and forum for discussion for students and researchers interested in the interdisciplinary study of Logic, Language and Information. For more information see <http://esslli.let.uu.nl>. Good papers from the workshop will be published either as a volume in one of Dov Gabbay's book series or as a special issue in one of the journals for which he is an editor (e.g. JLC or IGPL). All researchers in the area, but especially Ph.D. students and young researchers, are encouraged to submit a two-page abstract (hard copy or e-mail (plain ASCII or (La)TeX) .

Building on conventional evolutionary theory, the model emphasises the capacity of organisms to modify sources of natural selection in their environment (niche construction); the evolutionary dynamic can also be broadened to incorporate ontogenetic and cultural processes, with phenotypes playing a much more active role in evolution. The model sheds light on hominid evolution, the evolution of culture, altruism and cooperation. Culture amplifies the capacity of human beings to modify sources of natural selection in their environments to the point where that capacity raises some new questions about the processes of human adaptation. KEYWORDS: Niche construction, gene-culture coevolution, human evolution, evolutionary psychology, sociobiology, adaptation. ____________________________________________________________ To help you decide whether you would be an appropriate commentator for this article, an electronic draft is retrievable from the World Wide Web or by anonymous ftp from the US or UK BBS Archive.

BBS's new expanded page quota will make it possible for us to increase the number of books we treat per year, so this is an excellent time for BBS Associates and biobehavioral/cognitive scientists in general to nominate books you would like to see accorded BBS multiple book review. (Authors may self-nominate, but books can only be selected on the basis of multiple nominations.) It would be very helpful if you indicated in what way a BBS Multiple Book Review of the book(s) you nominate would be useful to the field (and of course a rich list of potential reviewers would be the best evidence of its potential impact!).

This target article provides evidence for the dual nature of the language faculty by describing some recent results from a multidisciplinary investigation of German inflection. We have examined (i) its linguistic representation focussing on noun plurals and verb inflection (participles), (ii) processes involved in the way adults produce and comprehend inflected words, (iii) brain potentials generated during the processing of inflected words and (iv) the way children acquire and use inflection. It will be shown that the evidence from all these sources converges and supports the distinction between lexical entries and combinatorial operations. Our experimental results indicate that adults have access to two distinct processing routes, one accessing (irregularly) inflected entries from the mental lexicon, and another involving morphological decomposition of (regularly) inflected words into stem+affix representations. These two processing routes correspond to the dual structure of the linguistic system. Results from event-related potentials confirm this linguistic distinction at the level of brain structures. In children's language, we found these two processes also to be clearly dissociated; regular and irregular inflection are used under different circumstances, and the constraints under which children apply them are identical to those of the adult linguistic system. Our findings will be explained in terms of a linguistic model, which maintains the distinction between the lexicon and the computational system, but replaces the traditional view of the lexicon as a simple list of idiosyncrasies with the notion of internally structured lexical representations.

The BBS refereeing procedure is also going to be considerably faster with the new electronic submission and processing procedures. Authors are invited to submit papers to: Email: bbs(a)cogsci.soton.ac.uk Web: http://cogprints.soton.ac.uk http://bbs.cogsci.soton.ac.uk/ INSTRUCTIONS FOR AUTHORS: http://www.princeton.edu/~harnad/bbs/instructions.for.authors.html http://www.cogsci.soton.ac.uk/bbs/instructions.for.authors.html --------------------------------------------------------------------- (5) Call for Book Nominations for BBS Multiple Book Review In the past, Behavioral and Brain Sciences (BBS) journal had only been able to do 1-2 BBS multiple book treatments per year, because of our limited annual page quota. BBS's new expanded page quota will make it possible for us to increase the number of books we treat per year, so this is an excellent time for BBS Associates and biobehavioral/cognitive scientists in general to nominate books you would like to see accorded BBS multiple book review. (Authors may self-nominate, but books can only be selected on the basis of multiple nominations.) It would be very helpful if you indicated in what way a BBS Multiple Book Review of the book(s) you nominate would be useful to the field (and of course a rich list of potential reviewers would be the best evidence of its potential impact!).

bad writing contest winners

by George Kampis

Utanloves a dada-hoz. Osszehasonlitaskeppen, ezeket elo emberek irtak. Felhivom a figyelmet arra a mondatra, ami azt hangsulyozza, milyen sokaig gyakoroltak. udv kgy ===================================================================== We are pleased to announce winners of the fourth Bad Writing Contest, sponsored by the scholarly journal Philosophy and Literature. The Bad Writing Contest celebrates the most stylistically lamentable passages found in scholarly books and articles published in the last few years. Ordinary journalism, fiction, departmental memos, etc. are not eligible, nor are parodies: entries must be non-ironic, from serious, published academic journals or books. Deliberate parody cannot be allowed in a field where unintended self-parody is so widespread. Two of the most popular and influential literary scholars in the U.S. are among those who wrote winning entries in the latest contest. Judith Butler, a Guggenheim Fellowship-winning professor of rhetoric and comparative literature at the University of California at Berkeley, admired as perhaps "one of the ten smartest people on the planet," wrote the sentence that captured the contest's first prize. Homi K. Bhabha, a leading voice in the fashionable academic field of postcolonial studies, produced the second-prize winner. "As usual," commented Denis Dutton, editor of Philosophy and Literature, "this year's winners were produced by well-known, highly-paid experts who have no doubt labored for years to write like this. That these scholars must know what they are doing is indicated by the fact that the winning entries were all published by distinguished presses and academic journals." Professor Butler's first-prize sentence appears in "Further Reflections on the Conversations of Our Time," an article in the scholarly journal Diacritics (1997): The move from a structuralist account in which capital is understood to structure social relations in relatively homologous ways to a view of hegemony in which power relations are subject to repetition, convergence, and rearticulation brought the question of temporality into the thinking of structure, and marked a shift from a form of Althusserian theory that takes structural totalities as theoretical objects to one in which the insights into the contingent possibility of structure inaugurate a renewed conception of hegemony as bound up with the contingent sites and strategies of the rearticulation of power. Dutton remarked that "it?s possibly the anxiety-inducing obscurity of such writing that has led Professor Warren Hedges of Southern Oregon University to praise Judith Butler as ?probably one of the ten smartest people on the planet?." This year?s second prize went to a sentence written by Homi K. Bhabha, a professor of English at the University of Chicago. It appears in The Location of Culture (Routledge, 1994): If, for a while, the ruse of desire is calculable for the uses of discipline soon the repetition of guilt, justification, pseudo-scientific theories, superstition, spurious authorities, and classifications can be seen as the desperate effort to "normalize" formally the disturbance of a discourse of splitting that violates the rational, enlightened claims of its enunciatory modality. This prize-winning entry was nominated by John D. Peters of the University of Iowa, who describes it as "quite splendid: enunciatory modality, indeed!" Ed Lilley, an art historian at the University of Bristol in the U.K., supplied a sentence by Steven Z. Levine from an anthology entitled Twelve Views of Manet?s "Bar" (Princeton University Press, 1996): As my story is an august tale of fathers and sons, real and imagined, the biography here will fitfully attend to the putative traces in Manet?s work of "les noms du p�re," a Lacanian romance of the errant paternal phallus ("Les Non-dupes errent"), a revised Freudian novella of the inferential dynamic of paternity which annihilates (and hence enculturates) through the deferred introduction of the third term of insemination the phenomenologically irreducible dyad of the mother and child. Stewart Unwin of the National Library of Australia passed along this gem from the Australasian Journal of American Studies (December 1997). The author is Timothy W. Luke, and the article is entitled, "Museum Pieces: Politics and Knowledge at the American Museum of Natural History": Natural history museums, like the American Museum, constitute one decisive means for power to de-privatize and re-publicize, if only ever so slightly, the realms of death by putting dead remains into public service as social tokens of collective life, rereading dead fossils as chronicles of life's everlasting quest for survival, and canonizing now dead individuals as nomological emblems of still living collectives in Nature and History. An anatomo-politics of human and non-human bodies is sustained by accumulating and classifying such necroliths in the museum's observational/expositional performances. The passage goes on to explain that museum fossils and artifacts are "strange superconductive conduits, carrying the vital elan of contemporary biopower." It?s demonstrated with helpful quotations from Michel Foucault?s History of Sexuality. Finally, a tour de force from a 1996 book published by the State University of New York Press. It was located by M.J. Devaney, an editor at the University of Nebraska Press. The author is D.G. Leahy, writing in Foundation: Matter the Body Itself. Total presence breaks on the univocal predication of the exterior absolute the absolute existent (of that of which it is not possible to univocally predicate an outside, while the equivocal predication of the outside of the absolute exterior is possible of that of which the reality so predicated is not the reality, viz., of the dark/of the self, the identity of which is not outside the absolute identity of the outside, which is to say that the equivocal predication of identity is possible of the self-identity which is not identity, while identity is univocally predicated of the limit to the darkness, of the limit of the reality of the self). This is the real exteriority of the absolute outside: the reality of the absolutely unconditioned absolute outside univocally predicated of the dark: the light univocally predicated of the darkness: the shining of the light univocally predicated of the limit of the darkness: actuality univocally predicated of the other of self-identity: existence univocally predicated of the absolutely unconditioned other of the self. The precision of the shining of the light breaking the dark is the other-identity of the light. The precision of the absolutely minimum transcendence of the dark is the light itself/the absolutely unconditioned exteriority of existence for the first time/the absolutely facial identity of existence/the proportion of the new creation sans depth/the light itself ex nihilo: the dark itself univocally identified, i.e., not self-identity identity itself equivocally, not the dark itself equivocally, in "self-alienation," not "self-identity, itself in self-alienation" "released" in and by "otherness," and "actual other," "itself," not the abysmal inversion of the light, the reality of the darkness equivocally, absolute identity equivocally predicated of the self/selfhood equivocally predicated of the dark (the reality of this darkness the other-self-covering of identity which is the identification person-self). Dr. Devaney calls this book "absolutely, unequivocally incomprehensible." While she has supplied further extended quotations to prove her point, this seems to be enough.

Roderick Chisholm deceased at 82 (fwd)

---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Fri, 22 Jan 1999 16:57:07 +0000 From: Stephen Clark <srlclark(a)LIVERPOOL.AC.UK> To: PHILOS-L(a)LISTSERV.LIV.AC.UK Subject: Roderick Chisholm deceased at 82 (fwd) Date: Fri, 22 Jan 1999 09:35:45 -0500 From: "Philosophy News Service List Mgr. [richard jones]" <richard(a)PhilosophyNews.com> Roderick Chisholm, an influential philosopher, dies at age 82 The Associated Press 01/21/99 11:07 PM Eastern PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) -- Roderick M. Chisholm, an influential figure in contemporary philosophy, has died at age 82. Chisholm died Tuesday at Rhode Island Hospital, according to the philosophy department at Brown University, where Chisholm taught for four decades. Chisholm was a leading thinker in the branch of philosophy known as epistemology, or theory of knowledge. His seminal book of 1957, titled "Perceiving: A Philosophical Study," tackled a metaphysical issue that has been debated by philosophers for centuries -- whether you can trust your senses to give you reliable knowledge of the outside world. A realist, Chisholm concluded that you can. Arguments that he used in his writings dealt a blow to the rival philosophical camp known as phenomenalism. A significant nod to Chisholm's importance came in 1991, when he was selected to be the subject of a volume in the "Library of Living Philosophers," a collection that examines the views of the world's great thinkers. In that series, Chisholm's thoughts joined those of 24 other 20th century intellectual giants, including Bertrand Russell, John Paul Sartre, and Albert Einstein. Fellow philosophers remember Chisholm as a professor not just with a rigorous mind, but also with a talent for bringing philosophy to life in a classroom. He used a sort of Socratic method to instruct his students. He'd propose a solution to some metaphysical conundrum, invite his students to attack the solution, and then attack their objections. "It was very impressive," said James Van Cleve, former chairman of Brown's philosophy department. "There was a great deal of clarity and intellectual honesty. Every now and then, someone would stump him. Then he would revise his own theory, usually on the spot," said Van Cleve. Chisholm had an avid following. His presence at Brown drew budding philosophers from around the world. Intellectuals who already were teachers themselves would attend his seminars, including Ernest Sosa, who came to Brown as a young academic and is now editor of "Philosophy and Phenomenological Research" a philosophical journal published at the university. "He was really by far the one I learned the most from," Sosa said. Chisholm's books and articles in philosophical journals had a great deal of influence on contemporary philosophy, Sosa said. Among Chisholm's many publications are "Realism and the Background of Phenomenology, and "The Princeton Studies: Humanistic Scholarship in America." Chisholm had lived in Barrington, R.I., since 1947. He was born in Attleboro, Mass., half an hour away. He graduated from Brown University in 1938. He received his master's degree and doctorate at Harvard University in 1942. A World War II Army veteran, Chisholm taught at Brown from 1947 to 1987. He also had been a visiting professor at Harvard; the University of California, Santa Barbara; Princeton; the University of Alberta in Calgary, the University of Chicago, the University of Illinois in Urbana, the University of Massachusetts, the University of Salzburg in Austria, and the University of Heidelberg in Germany. He is survived by his wife, two sons, a daughter, a grandchild and a great-grandchild. Copyright 1998 Associated Press.
