DESCRIPTION:
A two-day conference on the philosophy of deep learning\, or
ganized by Ned Block (New York University)\, David Chalmers (New York University) and Raphaël
Millière (Columbia University)\, and jointly sponsored by the Presidential Scholar
s in Society and Neuroscience program at Columbia University and the <
a href='https://wp.nyu.edu/consciousness/' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>
Center for Mind\, Brain\, and Consciousness at New York University.
\nAbout
\nThe conference will explore current issue
s in AI research from a philosophical perspective\, with particular attent
ion to recent work on deep artificial neural networks. The goal is to brin
g together philosophers and scientists who are thinking about these system
s in order to gain a better understanding of their capacities\, their limi
tations\, and their relationship to human cognition.
\nThe conferenc
e will focus especially on topics in the philosophy of cognitive science (
rather than on topics in AI ethics and safety). It will explore questions
such as:
\n\n- What cognitive capacities\, if any\, do current de
ep learning systems possess?
\n- What cognitive capacities might fut
ure deep learning systems possess?
\n- What kind of representations
can we ascribe to artificial neural networks?
\n- Could a large lang
uage model genuinely understand language?
\n- What do deep learning
systems tell us about human cognition\, and vice versa?
\n- How can
we develop a theoretical understanding of deep learning systems?
\n- How do deep learning systems bear on philosophical debates such as ration
alism vs empiricism and classical vs. nonclassical views of cognition.
\n- What are the key obstacles on the path from current deep learning s
ystems to human-level cognition?
\n
\nA pre-conference debate o
n Friday\, March 24th will tackle the question “Do large language models n
eed sensory grounding for meaning and understanding ?”. Speakers include <
a href='https://www.berggruen.org/people/jacob-browning/' target='_blank'
rel='noopener'>Jacob Browning (New York University)\, David Chalmers (New York U
niversity)\, Yann LeCun (New York University)\, and Ellie Pavlick (Brown University / Google AI).
\nConference speakers
\n\nCall
for abstracts
\nWe invite abstract submissions for a few short talk
s and poster presentations related to the topic of the conference. Submiss
ions from graduate students and early career researchers are particularly
encouraged. Please send a title and abstract (500-750 words) to p
hildeeplearning@gmail.com by January 22nd\, 2023 (11.59pm EST).

DESCRIPTION:The Center for Philosophy of Religion at Rutgers University
is pleased to host an in-person\, working-papers conference on the Psychol
ogy and Epistemology of Religious Experience. We are seeking abstracts (15
0-350 words) from those interested in participating. The tentative date is
15-16 April 2023. And the deadline for submission is 28 February 2023. Pa
rticipants with accepted submissions will be given hotel accommodations an
d a modest honorarium to help defray travel costs.
\nTheme
\nThe overall theme of the workshop is the Psychology and Epistemology
of Religious Experiences. Philosophers of religion frequently assign reli
gious experiences important epistemic roles\, such as justifying religious
beliefs. But religious experiences of the kind philosophers are intereste
d in are also studied in other fields as well\, such as psychology and rel
igious studies. However\, the psychology and epistemology of religious exp
eriences are presumably not independent\; studying them together is likely
to be insightful in various ways. To that end\, we are interested in brin
ging together scholars working on the psychology and epistemology of relig
ious experiences. Potential topics include:
\n· The nature of
religious experiences
\n· Taxonomies of religious experiences<
/p>\n
· Potential psychological mechanisms and accounts of religio
us experience
\n· The relation between perception and religiou
s experiences
\n· The epistemology of religious experience
\n· The interactions between the psychology and epistemology of r
eligious experience
\n· The relation of cognitive science of r
eligion to religious experience
\nAny proposed papers on these topic
s\, or similar ones\, are welcome. Papers exploring interdisciplinary appr
oaches are also welcome.
\nInstructions
\nPlease submit
an abstract (150-350 words)\, long abstract (350-650 words)\, or full pap
er to Timothy Perrine at tp654@scarletmail.rutgers.edu. Submission should be prepa
red for blind review. In a separate document please provide your name\, in
stitutional affiliation (if applicable)\, and contact information. Submiss
ion deadline is 28 February\; acceptances will be decided by 5 March\; and
the workshop will be held 15-16 April.

DESCRIPTION:Join us for a series of keynote presentations as part of the
2023 Institute for Philosophy and New Humanities: Mind-Dependent Artifact
s: Artifact-Dependent Minds.
\nArtifacts are a primary object of stu
dy in the humanities. They are products and\, thus\, manifestations of hum
an thought\, action\, and self-determination without which they cannot be
understood. At the same time\, human mindedness depends on artifacts\, and
as well as other objects – a dependence that is manifest in the form of a
rtifacts. Human mindedness and the reality of artifacts are therefore inte
rtwined in complex ways.
\nOur Fall institute meeting 2023 Institute
will consider ways in which human mindedness and the reality of artifacts
are dialectically intertwined. Of special interest will be automatically
or mechanically produced artifacts\, and AI systems as artifacts that are
neither inert causal models of human thinking nor independently minded ent
ities. The ontology of such products thus needs to be calibrated in light
of their contribution to the deep diversity of the mutual dependence of mi
ndedness and artifacts. Some questions our seminar will address include: H
ow do AI-research and AI-systems structure and restructure the historical\
, diverse articulation of human mindedness? How does our understanding of
these and other artifacts shape our self-conception at the most fundamenta
l level?
\n
\nWe will explore these issues in the ontology\,
epistemology\, and humanistic study of AI and other artifacts together wit
h distinguished keynote speakers:
\nMonday\, September 11\, 4pm

DESCRIPTION:\n
\n
How can we know what it’s like to be someone else? Cl
assical Indian philosophers found the answer in theater\, arguing that it’
s not just a form of entertainment\, but a source of knowledge of other mi
nds. In this talk\, I’ll explore how this theme is developed in Śrī Śaṅkuk
a (c. 850 CE) and examine the reasons his views were rejected in the later
tradition. I’ll argue that those reasons are unsound\, and that we can se
e why by turning to contemporary studies of the relationship between knowl
edge and luck.
\n
Jonardon Ganeri is the Bimal. K. M
atilal Distinguished Professor of Philosophy at the University of Toronto.
He is a philosopher whose work draws on a variety of philosophical tradit
ions to construct new positions in the philosophy of mind\, metaphysics an
d epistemology. His books include Attention\, Not Self (2017)\, a
study of early Buddhist theories of attention\; The Concealed Art of
the Soul (2012)\, an analysis of the idea of a search for one’s true
self\; Virtual Subjects\, Fugitive Selves (2020)\, an analysis of
Fernando Pessoa’s philosophy of self\; and Inwardness: An Outsiders’
Guide (2021)\, a review of the concept of inwardness in literature\,
film\, poetry\, and philosophy across cultures. He joined the Fellowship o
f the British Academy in 2015\, and won the Infosys Prize in the Humanitie
s the same year\, the only philosopher to do so.

DESCRIPTION:THE COLUMBIA SOCI
ETY FOR COMPARATIVE PHILOSOPHY
\nWelcomes you to an IN-PERSON meeting:
\n<
p class='gmail-p2'>Allison Aitken (Columbia
University)\n« A
Case against Simple-mindedness: Śrīgupta on Mental Mereology »<
/p>\n
With responses from Ale
xander Englert (Princeton University)
\n
ABSTRACT: There’s a c
ommon line of reasoning which supposes that the phenomenal unity of consci
ous experience is grounded in a mind-like simple subject. To the contrary\
, Mādhyamika Buddhist philosophers beginning with Śrīgupta (seventh-eighth
century) argue that any kind of mental simple is incoherent and thus meta
physically impossible. Lacking any unifying principle\, the phenomenal uni
ty of conscious experience is instead an ungrounded illusion. In this talk
\, I will present an analysis of Śrīgupta’s “neither-one-nor-many argument
” against mental simples and show how his line of reasoning is driven by a
set of implicit questions concerning the nature of and relation between c
onsciousness and its intentional object. These questions not only set the
agenda for centuries of intra-Buddhist debate on the topic\, but they are
also questions to which any defender of unified consciousness or a simple
subject of experience arguably owes responses.

DESCRIPTION:The NYU Mind\, Ethics\, and P
olicy Program is thrilled to be hosting a talk by David Chalmers on whethe
r large language models can be sentient.
\nAbout the talk
\nArtificial intelligence systems—especially large language mo
dels\, giant neural networks trained to predict text from the internet—hav
e recently shown remarkable abilities. There has been widespread discussio
n of whether some of these language models might be sentient. Should we ta
ke this idea seriously? David Chalmers will discuss the underlying issue a
nd try to break down the strongest reasons for and against.
\nThe talk\, which is free and open to the public\,
will take place on October 13 2022 from 5:00-6:30pm ET. The in-person loc
ation will be Jurow Lecture Hall (inside the Silver Center at 32 Waverly P
lace)\, and the virtual location will be Zoom (you can sign up to receive
a link by clicking “Register here” below). There will also be a light rece
ption from 6:30-7:30pm in the Silverstein Lounge (immediately outside of t
he Jurow Lecture Hall).
\n– If you pl
an to attend in person\, please be prepared to show proof of full vaccinat
ion.
\n– If you plan to attend virtually\, please check your email fo
r a link in advance of the event.
\nAbout the speaker
\nDavid Chalmers is University Professor of Philosophy and Neural
Science and co-director of the Center for Mind\, Brain\, and Consciousness
at NYU. He is the author of The Conscious Mind (1996)\, Constructing the
World (2010)\, and Reality+: Virtual Worlds and the Problems of Philosophy
(2022). He co-founded the Association for the Scientific Study of Conscio
usness and the PhilPapers Foundation. He is known for formulating the “har
d problem” of consciousness\, which inspired Tom Stoppard’s play The Hard
Problem\, and for the idea of the “extended mind\,” which says that the to
ols we use can become parts of our minds.

DESCRIPTION:\n
\n\n
\n
This talk explores the reflexive nature of
consciousness\, which consists primarily in the fact that a state of consc
iousness has a reflexive relation to the subject who has that state\, so t
hat the subject can typically be aware of itself as having that state. Com
paring Kant’s\, Fichte’s\, and selected contemporary analytic theories of
this reflexivity shows that there is a crucial difference in the way the r
elation between form (or mode) and content of a state of consciousness is
conceived. The first part examines Kant’s formal theory of consciousness:
reflexivity is understood not in terms of a self-referential content resul
ting from a reflection on the state of the subject\, but as the universal
transcendental form that any content must have in order to be representati
onally significant and potentially conscious to the subject. The second pa
rt examines Fichte’s departure from Kant in his theory of a self-positing
consciousness: in the original act of self-positing\, the mere form of ref
lexivity is turned into a self-referential content that determines the sub
ject as an object from the absolute standpoint of consciousness. The third
part examines analytic theories that explain the reflexivity (or what is
often called the subjective character) of consciousness on a model of ment
al indexicality. These theories tend to reduce reflexivity to an objective
constituent of content that\, although often implicit\, can be read off f
rom the subject’s contextual situatedness in nature. In conclusion\, Kant’
s theory can be understood as a moderate\, human-centered kind of perspect
ivism that navigates between Fichtean absolute subjectivity and a naturali
st absolute objectivity.

DESCRIPTION:When someone is in a conscious state\, must they be aware of
that state? The Buddhist philosopher Dignāga offers a brilliant route to
answering this question by leveraging the role awareness might play as a
constraint on memory. I begin by clarifying his strategy and what conclus
ions it might be used to establish. Here I examine different candidate di
rections of explanation between consciousness and inner awareness. I inte
rpret the metaphor of consciousness as a lamp that lights itself\, and use
the metaphor to distinguish between his view and contemporary higher-orde
r theories of consciousness. I then turn to explain why the memory argume
nt fails. The first main problem is that\, contrary to Dignāga’s contempo
rary defenders\, there is no good way to use the argument to reach a concl
usion about all conscious states. The second main problem is that the pro
posed awareness constraint on memory is highly problematic\, in tension bo
th with ancient objections as well as current psychology.

DESCRIPTION:In this paper\, I explore the role that metaphor plays in th
e development of new scientific models. My goal is to illustrate metaphor’
s fecundity in this regard\, the way in which it extends our understanding
in surprisingly diverse ways. As Mary Hesse put this point\, “it is preci
sely in its extension that the fruitfulness of the model may lie” (1980\,
114).
\n
\nThe particular focus of my paper is on the history
of what John Haugeland called mind design: the use of mechanical models t
o reverse-engineer how minds work (1997\, 1). My history focuses on two su
ch models: the clockwork model and the computer model. In each case\, I sh
ow how a metaphorical understanding of the model led to conceptual innovat
ion in two distinct ways. First\, it provided an interpretive frame that g
uided new research by offering an abstract\, hypothesized structure to be
later filled in by empirical research (Camp 2020). Second\, it provided a
concrete exemplar to contrast with human minds (Daston 1994). For instance
\, while on the one hand Descartes invoked the clockwork model to explain
how color vision works (Adams 2015)\, he also invoked it as a vivid illust
ration of how human reasoning does not work (Riskin 2016).
\n
\n
It is this second source of conceptual innovation that is the real core
of the paper\; it reveals what I call the dialectic of mind design. This
dialectic is especially evident in our tendency to redefine what it is to
be human in response to new technological developments. For instance\, it
is evident when we take something that was previously assumed to be paradi
gmatic of mental acuity\, such as the ability to play chess\, and redefine
it as something merely mechanical (Ensmenger 2012). But it is equally wel
l evident when we take something that was previously taken to be mechanica
l—such as color vision—and redefine it as paradigmatically mental (Chalmer
s 1997\; cf. Adams and Browning 2020). The concept of mindedness is\, in t
his sense\, a constantly moving goalpost that is perennially being redefin
ed in response to new technological developments.

DESCRIPTION:How do we experience space? And what does this mean for the
spaces we design? We explore these questions by bringing together speakers
from Architecture\, Neuroscience\, and Virtual Reality\, with two specifi
c aims: First\, we explore what Architecture and Virtual Reality can learn
from each other\, as two distinct approaches to “spatial design”. Whilst
spatial experience has long been a central question of Architecture\, Virt
ual Reality is only beginning to grapple with these questions\, as technol
ogy transitions from 2D screens to 3D spatial interfaces. Second\, we expl
ore the nature of spatial experience itself\, with two approaches to under
standing the human mind. Whilst contemporary Architecture is influenced by
Philosophy (specifically the “Phenomenological” tradition)\, the tools of
Neuroscience are increasingly being applied to questions of Architecture
as well. Through this multidisciplinary exchange we hope to deepen our und
erstanding of spatial experience\, and how it informs the physical and vir
tual spaces we design.

DESCRIPTION:Matthew Boyle works on topics in the philosophy of mind and
on some issues in the history of philosophy. In the former area\, he has b
een especially concerned with the question of how we know our own minds an
d with debates about the scope and limits of such knowledge. He is present
ly at work on a book called The Significance of Self-Consciousness (under contract with Oxford University Press) on the distinction between
rational and nonrational minds\, the connection between rationality and t
he capacity for first-person awareness of one’s own cognitive activity\, a
nd the continuing relevance of these topics to contemporary debates in phi
losophy and psychology.

DESCRIPTION:
Serving as a response to Aimé Césaire’s call for a universal
filled with particularity from his infamous resignation from the French C
ommunist Party in 1956\, I focus on the role of culture for a project of u
niversal emancipation. To do so\, I follow Sylvia Wynter’s statement that
the Négritude movement is an example of a universal and cultural project.
Recalling Césaire’s words in “Return to My Native Land\,” culture that ser
ves universal emancipation must be “free of the desire to tame but familia
r with the play of the world.” To this end\, I develop a conception of cul
ture that is both local and universal\, that centers on the importance of
what it means to be human\, as life\, as being\, and as experience by read
ing culture as necessarily local\, collective\, disenchanted\, and related
to play.

DESCRIPTION:\n\n
\n
\n
\nDavid Bates\, in conversation with
Stefanos Geroulano and Joanna Stalnaker
\nWe imagine that w
e are both in control of and controlled by our bodies—autonomous and yet a
utomatic. This entanglement\, according to David W. Bates\, emerged in the
seventeenth century when humans first built and compared themselves with
machines. Reading varied thinkers from Descartes to Kant to Turing\, Bates
reveals how time and time again technological developments offered new wa
ys to imagine how the body’s automaticity worked alongside the mind’s auto
nomy. Tracing these evolving lines of thought\, David Bates discusses his
new book\, An Artificial History of Natural Intelligence\, which
offers a new theorization of the human as a being that is dependent on tec
hnology and produces itself as an artificial automaton without a natural\,
outside origin.
\nDavid Bates is Professor of Rheto
ric at the University of California Berkeley. His research focuses on the
history of legal and political ideas\, and the relationship between techno
logy\, science\, and the history of human cognition.
\nStefa
nos Geroulanos is the Director of the Remarque Institute and Prof
essor of European Intellectual History at NYU. He usually writes about con
cepts that weave together modern understandings of time\, the human\, and
the body. His new book is a history of the concepts\, images\, and science
s of human origins since 1770\, forthcoming from Liveright Press as Th
e Invention of Prehistory: Empire\, Violence\, and Our Obsession with Huma
n Origins in 2024.
\nJoanna Stalnaker<
/strong> is Professor of French at Columbia. She works on Enlightenment ph
ilosophy and literature\, with a recent interest in how women shaped the E
nlightenment. Her new book\, The Rest Is Silence: Enlightenment Philos
ophers Facing Death\, will be published by Yale University Press in t
he Walpole series.
