Michael Stoelzner Institute Vienna Circle, Becs Levels of Physical Theories cimmel tart eloadast. ELOADASKIVONAAT The most sublime task of physics is often seen in presenting, some day, a world formula or a simple Theory of Everything (T.O.E.) that crowns the top of a pyramid of physical laws. This view has been propagated by many high energy physicists, particu- larly by Steven Weinberg. If one examines in how far the candi- dates for that claim determine the scenario on lower levels, quite often cases appear, in which more depends on the actual circumstances (initial conditions or constants of nature) than can be deduced from the higher, more general theory. I will argue that laws on lower levels might have been present on higher lev- els merely as possibilities. Symmetry breakings, which determined the actual values of constants of nature, could have occured spontaneously in the course of the evolution of the universe. Such a view attributes to the physical laws at each particular level the genuine importance they deserve. Philosophically it considers the explanation of a given physical phenomenon as the primary quest in physics. In the cases men- tioned the deductions performable fail to give a sufficient ex- planation. The understanding of a physical theory is maximal if it can be comprehended as part of a hierarchy of physical theories. I propose not to base the level structure of physics in a foggy objective reductionism, but to view it as an interplay between two elements. Firstly, in the mathematical formulation of physics a natural layering is automatically given. This order es- tablished between general concepts and specific situations is, however, only local and does not induce an entire pyramid of mathematics. But secondly, the levels established that way only become physical theories if one supplements the specific physicsl circumstances at the particular level, for instance the results of unpredictable phase transitions and fundamental constants. Both elments serve two possible simplicity criteria, axiomatic and relational (from propositions to phenomena) simplicity. Idopontja: 1995 december 7., csutortok, 17 ora.

19:41:50 +100 Return-path: <gfekete(a)epas.utoronto.ca> Dear Folks, Fekete Gabor of U. Toronto will have the following course (in English) as part of our Cognitive Psychology PhD program. We are of course trying to recruite other people as well. Please post this note, and notify of your interest both Gabor at the above adress and me at pleh(a)izabell.elte.hu All the best Pleh Csaba Suggested course title: INTENTIONALITY AND QUALIA IN A WORLD OF CAUSES Abstract: If thinking, feeling and other mental activities are identical to brain processes, then mental events may just supervene upon physical (or at least neuro-biological) processes. This may mean that having translated the vocabulary of psychology into that of the reducing science we should look for a more complete and more appropriate explanatory theory of mental events there and psychologists could soon be out of their jobs. On the other hand, we may want to deny that mental terms could ever be reduced to non-mental ones (even without assuming a Cartesian dualist position) finding ourselves in the same camp with the new mysterians who seem to end up denying a lot more of the well-established a posteriori truth of science than they might have wished to bargain for. Does presumed ontological identity between mind and brain processes imply that psychological theories are deducible from neuro-physiological ones (let alone some unified theory of science)? Or can reasons be causes on their own power? We shall investigate these questions and others, like those pertaining to the existence of qualia, the nature of first person experience versus third person empirical observation and the relation of functional equivalence to structural identity and its consequeces on the possibilities of strong AI. Key words and concepts: absent and inverted qualia, adaptation, artificial intelligence, autophenomenology, autoregulation, behavior, belief, bridging laws, category mistake, causation, center of narrative gravity, cognition, conation, connectionism, consciousness, constructivism, Darwinism, de re - de dicto distinction, determinism, disposition, dual-aspect theory, dualism, eliminative materialism, emotivism, empiricism, epiphenomenalism, essentialism, evolution, falsifiability, first person perspective, free will, folk-psychology, functionalism, genotype-phenotype, ghost in the machine, heterophenomenology, holism, homonculus, identity theory, information processing, innatism, intensionality, intentionality, intentional stance, intuitionism, knowledge, logical positivism, materialism, mind, , nativism, naturalism, neural Darwinism, nominalism, opacity, other minds, paralellism, perception, personal identity, phenomenology, pragmatism, private events, qualia, rationality, reductionism, representations, semantics, solipsim, supervenience, teleological functionalism, token and type identities, Turing machine, unconscious Readings from: Armstrong, Chisholm, Churchland, Davidson, Dennett, Dretske, Fodor, McGinn, Nagel, Searle, Schoemaker, Quine Nem tudom meg pontosan miket valasztanek, a fenti szerzoktol szeretnek szemelvenyeket.

Kedves Kollegak, ha nem is kognitiv ugy, de mas jo mailing list-ek hijan hadd hivjam fel itt a figyelmet Szabo Laszlo logikat es fizikat erinto eloadasara. udv kgy ==================== SZEMINARIUMI ELOADAS Az ELTE TTK Tudomanytortenet es Tudomanyfilozofia Tanszeken (1088 Bp., Rakoczi ut 5.) Szabo Laszlo ELTE TTK Elmeleti Fizika Tanszek "Az elagazo teridok elmelete es a Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger- tetel" cimmel tart eloadast. ELOADASKIVONAT Egyik kiindulopontunk Nuel Belnap elagazo terido elmelete. Ez az egyetlen olyan szigoruan megfogalmazott formalis elmelet, amely lehetove teszi az objectiv indeterminizmus koncepciojanak es a relativitaselmeletnek az egyesiteset. Ha igaz a kvantumelmelet kovetkeztetese, melyszerint a vilagunkban letezik objektiv -- va- gyis nem csupan a tudasunk hianyara visszavezetheto -- modalitas (indeterminisztikussag), akkor a vilagunk modalis strukturajat egy nem-trivialis elagazo terido irja le, vagyis olyan, amelyben nem csak egyetlen ag van. Az eloadas masik pillere a Greenberger, Horne es Zeilinger (GHZ) altal 1990-ben bebizonyitott kvantummechanikai tetel, amely egyfajta Bell-tetel, valoszinusegekre felirt egyenlotlensegek nelkul. A bizonyitasnak azonban vannak gyengesegei, amelyeket tobben, igy Bohm es Hiley is kritizaltak. Az elagazo terido elmelet nyelvet felhasznalva sikerult Belnappal megadnunk a GHZ-tetel egy precizebb ujrafogalmazasat. Ebben az uj megfogalmazasban sikerult olyan bizonyitast adnunk, amely mentes a kritizalt gyengesegektol. A problema altalunk megadott analizisebol az is vilagosan kiderul, hogy hol vannak a GHZ-tetel ervenyessegenek pontos hatarai. Idopontja: 1995 november 30., csutortok, 17 ora.
