Psychologism and Behaviourism Revisited – Tim Crane (CEU)

Psychologism and Behaviourism Revisited – Tim Crane (CEU)
@ NYU Philosophy Dept. rm 202
May 4 @ 12:30 pm – 2:00 pm
Gottlob Frege famously argued that we should always ‘always separate sharply the psychological from the logical, the subjective from the objective’. While analytic philosophers have generally followed this advice when discussing logic and mathematics (in their rejection of ‘psychologism’ about these things), they have not followed it when discussing the psychological itself. It might be thought that if psychologism was true of anything, it is true of the psychological. But much 20th and 21st century[...]

Buddhist Perfectionism and Kantian Liberalism on Self-Constitution – David Cummiskey (Bates College)

Buddhist Perfectionism and Kantian Liberalism on Self-Constitution – David Cummiskey (Bates College)
@ Columbia Religion Dept. rm 101
May 11 @ 5:30 pm – 7:30 pm
At the core of Kantian liberalism is a conception of the independent autonomous subject. On the other hand, the most central and distinguishing feature of Buddhist philosophy is the doctrine of no-self. It thus seems that Buddhists should reject Kantian liberalism. My larger project develops the connections between Buddhist perfectionism, liberalism, and principles of justice. In this paper, I focus on Buddhist and Kantian conceptions of self-constitution, but my ultimate concern is the significance of[...]

Philosophy of Psychology Workshop – Stephan Pohl
@ Columbia University Philosophy Dept. 716
May 25 @ 1:00 pm – 3:00 pm
In perception, the world is represented by me. So goes a very naive thesis about perception. Yet when faced with phenomena of hallucination and illusion many theorists come to accept that in perception one merely represents a possible world that can more or less accurately match the actual world. Recently, a much more radical thesis arose: Perception is probabilistic. This would mean that in perception one does not simply represent one possible world, but one[...]
