Extracting belief from knowledge – Jennifer Nagel, Univ of Toronto

Extracting belief from knowledge – Jennifer Nagel, Univ of Toronto
@ Rutgers Philosophy Dept., 5th Floor
Jan 26 @ 3:00 pm – 5:00 pm
What can epistemologists learn from the development of our capacities to attribute knowledge and belief? Examining recent work in comparative and developmental psychology, I argue that the capacity to attribute belief is a spinoff from an earlier and more basic capacity to attribute knowledge. Knowledge attributions proceed with a simpler set of assumptions, which are later elaborated to allow attributions of the weaker state of belief. This model of the relationship between knowledge and belief[...]

Do we need a new evolutionary synthesis? Massimo Pigliucci (CUNY)
@ CUNY Grad Center, rm 5307
Jan 31 @ 4:30 pm – 6:30 pm
