Why the Copenhagen Interpretation Doesn’t Work and Why It’s Popular Anyhow – Adam Becker (UC Berkeley)

Why the Copenhagen Interpretation Doesn’t Work and Why It’s Popular Anyhow – Adam Becker (UC Berkeley)
@ NYU Philosophy Dept. rm 101
Apr 3 @ 5:00 pm – 7:00 pm
Conventional wisdom holds that since the advent of the first full theories of quantum mechanics in the mid-1920s, the Copenhagen interpretation has been the default interpretation of quantum mechanics, and has enjoyed the support of a majority of physicists ever since. This is not the case. While it is indeed true that a majority of physicists have long professed that they subscribe to the Copenhagen interpretation, the plain fact of the matter is that there[...]

“What Proofs are For” – Greg Restall (University of Melbourne)
@ NYU Philosophy Dept. rm 202
Apr 6 @ 12:00 pm – 2:00 pm
In this short talk, I present a new account of the nature of proof, with the aim of explaining how proof could actually play the role in reasoning that it does, and answering some long-standing puzzles about the nature of proof. Along the way, I’ll explain how Kreisel’s Squeezing argument helps us understand the connection between an informal notion of of validity and the notions formalised in our accounts of proofs and models, and the[...]

“Implicit Bias and the Unconscious” Ege Yumusak (Harvard) – SWIP-Analytic Graduate Student Essay Prize
5:00 pm
“Implicit Bias and the Unconscious” Ege Yumusak (Harvard) – SWIP-Analytic Graduate Student Essay Prize
@ NYU Philosophy Dept. 6th flr lounge
Apr 12 @ 5:00 pm – 7:00 pm
The metaphysics of implicit bias has been an area of heated debates involving philosophers and psychologists. Most theorists of implicit bias posit that associations underwrite implicit bias. Recent dissenters have argued that propositional attitudes undergird this pernicious attitude. However, the propositional attitude view of implicit bias does not satisfyingly explain its various manifestations that are underwritten by its diverse contents. In this paper my criticism targets: (1) legitimacy of ascriptions of unconscious mental content, and[...]

Icard: On the Rational Role of Randomization
@ Faculty House, Columbia U
Apr 13 @ 4:10 pm
Randomized acts play a marginal role in traditional Bayesian decision theory, essentially only one of tie-breaking. 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
@ Columbia Religion Dept. rm 101
Apr 13 @ 5:30 pm – 7:30 pm
The circa 9th century CE poet-saint Saraha enjoys a close association with spontaneity in both his reported actions and recorded works. This association leads him to be popularly read and remembered as a freewheeling antinomian sacred figure opposed to institutions, rituals, and even social norms. His appears to be a call to joyful chaos. But many of his verses invite readers towards a different kind of chaos, towards mental/perceptual chaos as the path towards correct[...]
