new journal philosophy of mind and action (fwd)

by George Kampis

Announcing a new journal: ========================== PHILOSOPHICAL EXPLORATIONS ========================== An International Journal for the Philosophy of Mind and Action Visit our website at: http://www.phil.ruu.nl/~brink/announcement.html Information on a symposium on the occasion of the first issue of Philosophical Explorations: http://www.phil.ruu.nl/~brink/symposium.html Philosophical Explorations aims to provide a forum for analytically minded philosophers interested in a genuine dialogue with continental philosophy and the (social) sciences. The editors believe that a comprehensive understanding of mind and action requires insights of philosophers working in both traditions and of scientists working in the field. Contributions are welcomed in the area of the philosophy of mind and action and related disciplines such as moral psychology, ethics, philosophical anthropology, social philosophy, political philosophy and philosophy of the social sciences. The journal also welcomes contributions of an interdisciplinary kind, establishing bridges between philosophy and, for example, evolutionary biology, neuroscience, psychology, and political science. Philosophical Explorations is published three times a year in January, May and September. The final issue of each year is devoted to a special topic. Although the bulk of each issue consists of substantial papers (8000 words), the journal also provides for critical discussions and surveys of recent developments (3000 words).

(Fwd) ESPP 1998 Call for Papers

by Gergely Csibra

EUROPEAN SOCIETY FOR PHILOSOPHY AND PSYCHOLOGY Call for Papers 1998 Annual Meeting Lisboa, Portugal September 2 - 5, 1998 The European Society for Philosophy and Psychology is calling for papers to be presented at its Seventh Annual Meeting in Lisboa, Portugal, 2nd-5th September, 1998. The aim of the Society 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. Philosophers are encouraged to present work of significance to psychology and the above disciplines. In recent years ESPP sessions have covered such topics as spatial concepts, simulation theory, attention, problems of consciousness, emotion, perception, early numerical cognition, memory and time, motor imagery, externalism, connectionism, and the interpretation of neuropsychological results. Submitted papers are refereed and selected on the basis of quality and relevance to both psychologists and philosophers. Papers should not exceed a length of 20 minutes (about 8 double-spaced pages). Papers must be accompanied by a camera-ready 300-word abstract (to be includedin the conference booklet). 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. The deadline for submission is March 1st, 1998. Please send three copies to: Dr. John Campbell or Dr. Regine Kolinsky New College Laboratoire de Psychologie Experimentale Oxford, OX1 3BN Universite Libre de Bruxelles, CP 191 United Kingdom 50 Av. F. Roosevelt (john.campbell@ B-1050 Bruxelles, Belgique new.oxford.ac.uk) (rkolins(a)ulb.ac.be) Local arrangements are being handled by Dr. Joao Branquinho.

(Fwd) Biologically inspired robotics - CALL FOR PARTICIPATION

by Gergely Csibra

**** SELF-LEARNING ROBOTS II: BIO-ROBOTICS **** An Institution of Electrical Engineers (IEE) Seminar Savoy Place, London: February, 12th, 1998. Co-sponsors: Royal Institute of Navigation (RIN) Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) British Computer Science Society (BCS) Society for the study of Artificial Intelligence and the Simulation of Behaviour (AISB) Biologically inspired robotics or bio-robotics is an exciting trend in the integration of engineering and life sciences. Although this has a long history dating back to the turn of the century, it is only within the last few years that it has picked up momentum as many have realised that life is still the best model we have for intelligent behavior. This cross fertilisation is beginning to bear fruit in robotics within specialist areas such as evolutionary methods, artificial life, neural computing, and navigation. It is now time to bring these threads together and ask the life scientists to assess the developments and also to discuss how and what the life sciences could learn from robotics. This one-day seminar aims to bring together some of Europe's leading researchers within the areas of animal and robot behavior to discuss the foundations and future directions of biologically inspired robotics. Each Speaker will be followed by a Discussant who will follow up on some of the issues raised by in the paper and make general points about the field. 9.30-10.30 EMBODIED COGNITION Francisco Varela (Speaker) Biologist and Neuroscientist, France. Stevan Harnad (Discussant) Psychologist, UK. 10.30-10.45 COFFEE 10.45-11.45 EVOLUTIONARY LEARNING Stefano Nolfi (Speaker) Roboticist and Psychologist, Italy.
