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.
\n
About
\n
The 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.
\n
The 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
\n
A 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).

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.
\n
Theme
\n
The 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
\n
Any proposed papers on these topic
s\, or similar ones\, are welcome. Papers exploring interdisciplinary appr
oaches are also welcome.
\n
Instructions
\n
Please 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.
\n
Artifacts 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.
\n
Our 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
\n
We will explore these issues in the ontology\,
epistemology\, and humanistic study of AI and other artifacts together wit
h distinguished keynote speakers:

The committee for the Graduate Student Conferenc
e on Philosophy of Education (GSCOPE) invites abstracts for papers on the
topic of Higher Education\, Democracy\, and Controversy. The theme of the
conference & post-conference pedagogy workshop reflects the difficulty in
creating and maintaining respectful discourse in higher-education classroo
ms\, especially surrounding controversial empirical\, moral\, and politica
l issues. Some argue that this is an equity issue. Undergraduate students
who come from rural and/or underprivileged areas are more likely to experi
ence alienation on campus\, sometimes because they have never been exposed
to certain “politically correct” language or ideas\, and sometimes simply
because they lack the financial and social capital that their peers have.
It seems crucial (and follows from democratic and civic values) to foster
safe learning environments for all students\, especially those students w
ho are more likely to feel alienated on college campuses and in elite spac
es. At the same time\, some argue that the aim of higher education is pure
ly epistemological\, and not civic or democratic. Proponents of this view
might hold that free speech and academic freedom must be properly protecte
d for higher education to perform its proper social function: education. W
hat is the appropriate relationship between higher education\, knowledge-p
roduction\, teaching\, free speech\, and democracy? How can higher educati
on instructors and professors be effective teachers in the light of these
relationships?
\n
Papers must pertain to higher educationbut maybe ab
out anything from interpersonal classroom dynamicstoinstitutional policies
to campus controversy. We are particularly interested in papers that expl
ore the following topics:
\n
\n- Philosophical issues around teach
ing controversy
\n
\n
\n- Navigating different identities in
the classroom and on campus
\n- Free speech and controversial issues
in classrooms and on campus
\n- Differential roles of various highe
r education actors when it comes to protecting free speech (administration
\, tenured professors\, students\, residential life)
\n
\n
\nTraining (or lack thereof) of graduate students to be teachers and the i
mpact of this on teaching in our current political moment\n
\n
\n- Theright relationship(s) between democracy\, knowledge\,free speech
\, and higher education
\n
\n
\n- The role of controversy in
democracy
\n- The relationship between controversy and equality
\n
\n
\n- Teaching as an equity issue – how education might foste
r or impede different kinds of equity (class equity\, racial equity\, urba
n/rural equity\, gender equity)
\n
\n
\n- Disagreement in cla
ssrooms
\n
\n
\n- Epistemological issues around disagreement
and understanding
\n- Trust in classrooms
\n- Pedagogical tool
s to cope with disagreement in classrooms
\n- Philosophical views on
coming to understanding from different social locations\, epistemic commi
tments\, and material circumstances
\n
\n
We especially welcome
contributions that:
\n
\n- Think about universities outside of the
“top 50” and the “top 500” — we want our conversation to reflect issues f
ound across the entire spectrum of international higher ed institutions\n
- Engage with CUNY-specific issues and offer CUNY-specific solutions
\n
\n
Abstracts should:
\n– Outline the paper’s principal
argument(s).
\n– Give a good sense of the paper’s philosophical and/o
r empirical contributions and methods.
\n– Be anonymized.
\n
Pro

Post-Conference Pedagogy Workshop
\n
The theme of our conference Higher Education\, Democracy\, and Contro
versy is relevant to graduate student educators\, who are routinely u
nder-trained and under-equipped to engage with real-life problems they may
encounter in the classroom. The lack of training for higher education tea
chers is a growing iue in philosophy of education.
\n
This workshop a
ttends to this issue by facilitating a space for graduate student educator
s to reflect on how to foster good teaching environments for controversial
issues\, and be good interlocutors with each other on controversial issue
s. The workshop will also touch on promoting equity in classrooms. We will
provide workshop participants with a certificate of completion.

DESCRIPTION:
Individuals support forms of domination with varying levels
of understanding that they are doing so. In many cases\, those very struct
ures of domination distort our conceptions of them through mechanisms such
as motivated reasoning\, implicit bias\, affected ignorance\, false consc
iousness\, and belief polarization. These various epistemic distortions\,
in turn\, cause social conflict\, notably by promoting political polarizat
ion. Those worried by social conflict have spent a great deal of energy de
crying the increasingly polarized contexts in which we live. However\, epi
stemic distortions in our sociopolitical beliefs also misrepresent\, maint
ain systems of domination and prevent human needs from being met.
\n
This workshop aims to go beyond pronouncements such as ‘we are polarized’
or that ‘partisanship is on the rise\,’ and begin to think through epistem
ic distortions at the individual and intersubjective levels\, the role of
criticism and critique in facilitating belief and social change\, and the
idea of reconciliation\, by asking questions such as:
\n
\n- In wh
at ways are individual beliefs about domination/social structures epistemi
cally distorted?
\n- What explains why social beliefs are epistemica
lly distorted?
\n- What are the normative upshots of epistemic disto
rtion for social relationships like allyship\, comradeship\, and friendshi
p?
\n- Ought polarization be remedied? Which epistemic resources and
theoretical frameworks avail themselves of emancipatory potential?

DESCRIPTION:
Ideas about “identity” and “difference” proliferate in the n
ews media\, in higher education\, in political disputations\, and in criti
cal theories of society. Claims about “identity” and “difference” can rea
dily be found at work in a wide variety of typologies\, including those of
race\, class\, ethnicity\, gender\, sexuality\, religion\, nationality\,
political affiliation\, ability and disability\, animality and humanity\,
etc. But what exactly do we mean when we speak of “identity” or “differen
ce”? And if we achieve greater clarity about the metaphysical presupposit
ions and implications of “identity” and “difference\,” what difference wou
ld that make?
\n
A serious metaphysical examination of “identity” and
“difference” will expectedly generate a wide variety of questions. Is di
scourse about what is “identical” reducible to discourse about what is “th
e same”? Is discourse about what is “different” reducible to discourse ab
out what is “other”? Can something be “the same” without being “identical
\,” and can something be “other” without being “different”? When we speak
about “being\,” does our speaking about it have many different senses (is
it spoken of analogically)\, or instead does our speaking about being alw
ays have the same sense (is it spoken of univocally)? Does the “identity”
of a thing depend mainly on the thing’s status as an individual\, or does
it depend instead on the thing’s membership in a general kind? Does an u
nderstanding of identity depend on some reference to what is different? O
r does an understanding of difference depend on some reference to identity
? What is the relation of knowing to being: is it one of identity\, or di
fference\, or some combination of both? Is it possible for a knower to di
scern real differences between things without discerning intelligible diff
erences\, or does the indiscernibility of intelligible differences imply t
hat there are no real differences at all but rather an identity? Does dif
ference depend on negation\, or can one assert that there is difference wi
thout having to assert that something is “not”? Does it make sense to spe
ak of an ontological difference\, i.e.\, a difference between Being and be
ings\, or is it senseless – maybe even useless – to speak of a difference
between Being and beings? Is “being” different from “nothing\,” or is it
possible for differences to exist only among beings (in which case there
apparently cannot be a difference between “being” and “nothing”)?
\n
In spite of the virtual ubiquity of discourses about identity and differen
ce\, there is a dearth of discourse about the metaphysical presuppositions
and implications of “identity and difference.” With its choice of confer
ence theme for 2024 (“Identity\, Difference\, and the Difference that Meta
physics Makes”)\, the Metaphysical Society of America wishes to provoke de
eper thinking about the metaphysics of identity and difference\, with the
hope that such deeper thinking will make a meaningful difference in both t
heory and practice.
\n
Proposals for papers on the conference theme a
re especially encouraged\, but papers on other metaphysical topics are als
o welcome. Please note: when selecting which submissions to accept for th
is conference\, the Program Committee will regard “relevance to theme” as
one important criterion among others.

DESCRIPTION:
\n
How does objectivity shape power\,
and how does power shape objectivity?
\n
Welcome to “Unmasking Object
ivity: A Critical Examination of the Nexus between Universal Truth Claims
and Emergent Power Structures\,” a conference that plunges into the intric
ate relationship between knowledge and power. In this conference\, we will
uncover how epistemological standpoints intersect with systems of coercio
n\, marginalization\, and oppression. Our topic extends to alternative vis
ions of knowledge\, truth\, and learning\, offering the potential for shar
ed beliefs while addressing the adverse impacts of entrenched power struct
ures.
\n
How have claims to absolute\, objective\, or scientific trut
h driven oppression through ideologies like religious absolutism\, colonia
lism\, technocracy\, and scientific sexism and racism? Contemporary debate
s further emphasize the significance of this intersection.
\n
Our dis
course will also scrutinize epistemic injustice\, examining whether univer
salist epistemologies privilege specific knowledge systems while silencing
valid alternatives. We aim to shed light on social and political issues o
verlooked by dominant knowledge frameworks through inclusive dialogues. Th
is conference fosters critical exploration and inclusive discourse\, drawi
ng on interdisciplinary studies in philosophy\, sociology\, and political
theory.
\n
Together\, we will assess the ethical implications of our
epistemological practices and explore pathways to creating more equitable
systems of knowledge and social learning. Join us at “Unmasking Objectivit
y” as we navigate the intricate web of knowledge and power\, aiming for a
just and inclusive future where the notion of objectivity is both scrutini
zed and harnessed for social transformation.

Abstract: It i
s widely recognized by proponents of the notion that grounding can be\, in
deed is\, overdetermined. Further to this\, it seems safe to suppose that
something of a consensus has emerged: grounding is overdetermined and the
re is nothing about it\, either conceptually or metaphysically\, that we o
ught to find concerning. But from a small sampling of alleged cases no su
ch conclusions can responsibly be drawn. This paper aims to demonstrate t
hat there is nothing obvious or straightforward about grounding overdeterm
ination and that the topic is deserving of much more serious philosophical
attention.

DESCRIPTION:
The rich philosophical and mathematical disputes that took p
lace between Isaac Newton and Gottfried Leibniz at the start of the eighte
enth century have received more historical attention than any other exchan
ge in the history of philosophy. Nevertheless\, in this talk\, Robert Ilif
fe discusses a prominent but neglected aspect of their disagreement\, name
ly the mutual claim that their opponents’ conceptual foundations were fict
ional\, and were the product both of diseased thinking and of illegitimate
ly organized intellectual structures. Newton assailed Leibniz’s allegedly
debased metaphysics in various prominent places\, and mobilized allies suc
h as Roger Cotes and John Keill to do the same. Nevertheless\, by far the
most sophisticated critique of illicit philosophical assumptions was launc
hed against Newton by Leibniz in his correspondence with Samuel Clarke. In
the Fifth letter to Clarke\, Leibniz identified core Newtonian positions
as infantile\, vulgar\, and profoundly irreligious\, asserting that they w
ere dangerous fictions that were less plausible and much less edifying tha
n the rational romances of writers in the previous century. Although Leibn
iz saved his most potent intellectual weapons for his final letter to Clar
ke\, Robert Iliffe suggests that his attack on the fictional status of New
ton’s work was no mere codicil to his general critique of Newton’s philoso
phy\, but instead lay at the heart of it. This famous debate\, while of co
urse somewhat sui generis\, is indicative of more general and dynamic feat
ures of intellectual debate.

DESCRIPTION:
Investigations of sex differences in the human brain take pl
ace on politically sensitive terrain. While some scholars express concern
that gendered biases and stereotypes remain embedded in scientific researc
h\, others are alarmed about the politicization of science. This talk sets
out three kinds of conflicts that can arise in the neuroscience of sex di
fferences: academic freedom versus gender equality\; frameworks\, backgrou
nd assumptions\, and dominant methodologies\; and inductive risk and socia
l values. The boundaries between fair criticism and politicization are exp
lored for each kind of conflict\, pointing to ways in which the academic c
ommunity can facilitate fair criticism while protecting against politiciza
tion.

DESCRIPTION:
With responses from
Mark Siderits (Illinois State University)
\n
ABSTRACT: Budd
hist philosophers often draw a distinction between two different kinds of
truth: conventional truth (saṃvṭi-satya) and ultimate truth (paramārtha-sa
tya). Abhidharma Buddhists philosophers typically understand this distinct
ion in terms of an ontological distinction between two different kinds of
entities: ultimately real entities (paramārtha-sat) and conventionally rea
l entities (saṃvṛti-sat). Similar to contemporary philosophical discussion
s about ordinary objects\, Buddhist philosophers debate the ontological st
atus of conventional entities and the semantics of discourse concerning th
em. Mark Siderits (2015\, 2021\, 2022) has influentially argued for an eli
minitivist position he calls “Buddhist reductionism” that interprets the A
bhidharma position as one that denies conventional entities exist but that
retains discourse involving apparent reference to them. However\, in a re
cent article Kris McDaniel (2019)\, a prominent defender of ontological pl
uralism\, challenges that view by proposing that the Abhidharma Buddhist d
istinction between conventional truth and ultimate truth be “defined up” f
rom a more basic distinction between two different ways an entity can exis
t: conventionally or ultimately. In this paper I argue that Saṃghabhadra’s
account of conventional reality and truth does lends itself well to McDan
iel’s proposal but I will also argue that the account of conventional and
ultimate truth that results differs in important ways from the models he o
ffers. I will end by offering a modification of McDaniel’s account of conv
entional truth that is derived from Saṃghabhadra’s pluralist ontology. Tha
t view will\, unlike the views suggested by both Siderits and McDaniel\, a
llow for there to be ultimate truths about what is conventionally true.

DESCRIPTION:
Artificial intelligence (AI) promises to automate and scale
solutions to perennial accessibility challenges (e.g.\, generating image d
escriptions for blind users). However\, research shows that AI-bias dispro
portionately impacts people already marginalized based on their race\, gen
der\, or disabilities\, raising questions about potential impacts in addit
ion to AI’s promise. In this talk\, Cynthia Bennett will overview broad co
ncerns at the intersection of AI\, disability\, and accessibility. She wil
l then share details about one project in this research space that led to
guidance on human and AI-generated image descriptions that account for sub
jective and potentially sensitive descriptors around race\, gender\, and d
isability of people in images.

DESCRIPTION:
Neopragmatists seek to sidestep metaphysical puzzles by shif
ting the target of philosophical explanation from the objects we think and
talk about to the functions of expressions and concepts in our cognitive
economy. Logical vocabulary can serve as a target for neopragmatist inquir
y\, and it has also posed obstacles to neopragmatist accounts of other voc
abulary. I will argue that the obstacles can be addressed by adopting a ne
opragmatist perspective toward logical relations\, such as logical consequ
ence\, and toward propositional content. Doing so calls into question two
purported constraints on explanations of the functions of logical connecti
ves. I will sketch an account made possible by rejecting those constraints
\, one according to which logical connectives serve to express dialectical
attitudes. The proposal is deflationary in two ways: it rests on an exten
sion of deflationism from truth to logical relations\, and it aims to defl
ate some of neopragmatists’ theoretical ambitions.

DESCRIPTION:
Saul Kripke announced his possible world semantics in 1959\,
and published his proof of axiomatic completeness for the standard modal
logics of the time in 1963. It is very unlike the standard completeness p
roof used today\, which involves a Lindenbaum/Henkin construction and prod
uces canonical models. Kripke’s proof involved tableaus\, in a format tha
t is difficult to follow\, and uses tableau construction algorithms that a
re complex and somewhat error prone to describe. I will first discuss Krip
ke’s proof\, then the historical origins of the modern version. Then I wi
ll show that completeness\, proved Kripke style\, could actually have been
done in the Lindenbaum/Henkin way\, thus simplifying things considerably.
None of this is new but\, with the parts collected together it is an int
eresting story. “In my end is my beginning”.

DESCRIPTION:
Well-being\, also known as prudential value\, refers to what
ever makes a life non-instrumentally good for the person living it. Well-b
eing is the object of immense practical\, philosophical\, and scientific c
oncern. Assessments of well-being help to guide our decisions in everyday
life\, from relationships\, to health decisions\, to education and career
choices. Well-being is increasingly the object of governmental and institu
tional policy\, and even policies that are not aimed directly at promoting
it can be evaluated in terms of their impacts on well-being. Colleges and
universities routinely offer programs designed to help students maintain
their well-being in the face of academic and personal stress. However\, de
bates over the nature of well-being have raged since the beginning of phil
osophical inquiry\, leaving us in a bad position when it comes to making h
eadway on addressing those practical and scientific concerns. The goal of
this talk is to show how the application of naturalistic methodology can h
elp us to resolve the philosophical stalemate and thus to make progress in
our practical and scientific projects relating to well-being.

DESCRIPTION:The sender-receiver model was developed by David Lewis to ta
ckle the question of the conventionality of meaning. But many people who c
ared about the conventionality of meaning did so because they thought it w
as intimately connected to the conventionality of logic. Since Lewis’s wor
k\, only a few attempts have been made to say anything about the nature of
logic and inference from the perspective of the sender-receiver model. Th
is talk will look at the what’s been said in that regard\, by Skyrms and o
thers\, and suggest a few general lessons.

DESCRIPTION: In Sanskrit epistemology\, philosoph
ers are preoccupied with the notion of pramā. A pramā\, roughly\, is a men
tal event of learning or knowledge-acquisition. Call any such mental event
a knowledge-event. In A Confection of Refutation (Khaṇḍanakhaṇḍakhādya)\,
the 12th century philosopher and poet Śrīharṣa argued that knowledge-even
ts are indefinable. Any satisfactory (and therefore non-circular) definiti
on of knowledge-events will have to include an anti-luck condition that do
esn’t appeal back to the notion of learning or knowledge-acquisition itsel
f. But there is no such anti-luck condition. What is novel about Śrīharṣa’
s argument is that it is motivated by his commitment to a certain “knowled
ge first” approach to epistemology: the view that knowledge-events are epi
stemically prior to other non-factive mental states and events. On this vi
ew\, when we are trying to determine whether an agent has undergone a know
ledge-event\, we don’t initially ascribe to them some other non-factive me
ntal event\, and then check if that event meets some further conditions (l
ike truth or reliability) necessary for it to count as a knowledge-event\;
rather\, we treat certain mental events by default as knowledge-events un
til a defeater comes along. Surprisingly\, Śrīharṣa argues that this kind of “knowledge first” epi
stemology should give us reason to doubt whether our ordinary attributions
of knowledge-events are reliably tracking any sui generis psychological k
ind. In this talk\, I reconstruct Śrīharṣa’s position.

DESCRIPTION:What we call first-order logic over fixed domain was initiat
ed\, in a certain guise\, by Peirce around 1885 and championed\, albeit in
idiosyncratic form\, by Zermelo in papers from the 1930s. We characteriz
e such logics model- and proof-theoretically and argue that they constitut
e exploration of a clearly circumscribed conception of domain-dependent ge
nerality. Whereas a logic\, or family of such\, can be of interest for an
y of a variety of reasons\, we suggest that one of those reasons might be
that said logic fosters some clarification regarding just what qualifies a
s a logical concept\, a logical operation\, or a logical law.

DESCRIPTION:Western metaphysics is based on the opposition between reali
ty and appearance. This construction essentially rests on a visual model\,
or more exactly on some staging of what visual experience is.
\nI am
going to question the basis of this metaphysics\, by taking into account
the reality of appearances and reflecting on their various uses\, in parti
cular artistic ones. This path will be taken in the first place by shiftin
g the focus of philosophical analysis from visual to acoustic models. Thus
\, I will envisage a realism of echoes\, as opposed to the metaphysics of
shadows.
\nBiography:
\nJocelyn Beno
ist\, born in 1968\, is Professor at the university Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbo
nne\, where he teaches Contemporary Philosophy\, and currently a member of
the ‘Institut Universitaire de France’. He has dedicated his early work t
o phenomenology and the bridges between phenomenology and early Analytic p
hilosophy. For some time he was the Director of the Husserl Archive of Par
is at the Ecole Normale Supérieure. Then\, he developed a personal investi
gation into the meaning of realism in philosophy. He has published many bo
oks\, including recently: Toward a Contextual Realism\, H.U.P.\,

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.
