8	9 Responsibility, Punishment, and Psychopathy: At the Crossroads of Law, Neurocriminology, and Philosophy – Seminars in Society and Neuroscience 4:15 pm Responsibility, Punishment, and Psychopathy: At the Crossroads of Law, Neurocriminology, and Philosophy – Seminars in Society and Neuroscience @ Faculty House, Columbia U Apr 9 @ 4:15 pm – 6:15 pm Tickets Psychopathy is a mental disorder closely associated with marked emotional dysfunctions, limited capacity for moral judgments, recidivistic offending, and poor treatment outcome. Considering its peculiar characteristics, the status of psychopathy in the field of law raises several disputes. While current criminal law holds psychopaths fully responsible and punishable for their misbehavior, some scholars argue that psychopathy is a condition that may severely compromise an individual’s moral agency and capacity for rationality. As such, it should[...]	10 “Hating as Contrary to Loving” – Anthony Steinbock (Southern Illinois) 4:00 pm “Hating as Contrary to Loving” – Anthony Steinbock (Southern Illinois) @ Flom Auditorium, Fordham U Apr 10 @ 4:00 pm – 6:00 pm Tickets Suarez Lecture: Anthony Steinbock (Southern Illinois University) Tuesday, April 10, 2018 4:00 PM 6:00 PM Google Calendar ICS “Hating as Contrary to Loving” Location: Flom Auditorium Posted in All Lectures, Suarez Lectures	11	12 Hacer Escuela/Inventing School: Latin American Pedagogy Conference Hacer Escuela/Inventing School: Latin American Pedagogy Conference @ 12th Floor lounge (April 12-13) and McMahon 109 (April 14) Apr 12 – Apr 14 all-day Tickets The Hacer Escuela/Inventing School workshop series brings together thinkers and practitioners from across the Americas who have developed new pedagogical techniques influenced by critical theory traditions, to share their work with professors, students, and others studying critical theory in the United States.

Meanwhile, rationales for randomized decisions have been offered in a number of areas, including game theory, experimental design, and machine learning. A common and plausible way of accommodating some (but not all) of these ideas from a Bayesian perspective is by appeal to a decision maker’s bounded computational resources. Making this suggestion both precise and compelling is surprisingly difficult.[...] Bewildered Perception: Exploring Mindfulness as Delusion 5:30 pm Bewildered Perception: Exploring Mindfulness as Delusion @ Columbia Religion Dept. rm 101 Apr 13 @ 5:30 pm – 7:30 pm Tickets The circa 9th century CE poet-saint Saraha enjoys a close association with spontaneity in both his reported actions and recorded works.
