The Foundations of Conceptual Engineering
The Foundations of Conceptual Engineering @ NYU Philosophy Dept. rm 202
Sep 14 – Sep 15 all-day
One dimension of cognitive success is getting it right, i.e gaining knowledge of facts. Another dimension of cognitive success is using the right concept, i.e. framing a topic in the right way. This view, if correct, tasks inquirers with critically examining the concepts they are using and perhaps replacing those concepts with new and better ones. This task is often known as “conceptual engineering”. The idea that conceptual engineering is an important task for inquirers[...]

Debate: Do Split Brain Patients Have Two Minds? 5:00 pm
Debate: Do Split Brain Patients Have Two Minds? @ Jurow Lecture Hall, Silver Center
Sep 18 @ 5:00 pm – 7:00 pm
In split-brain patients, the cerebral hemispheres have been separated by severing the corpus collosum. These patients sometimes behave as if they have one mind and sometimes as if they have two. Do these patients have a single consciousness that is in some respects fragmented? Or does each hemisphere support a distinct experiencing subject with a separate mind?

Daniel Sudarsky (UNAM) A philosophical mantle on the primordial tensor modes in inflation 4:30 pm
Daniel Sudarsky (UNAM) A philosophical mantle on the primordial tensor modes in inflation @ NYU Philosophy Dept. rm 302
Sep 25 @ 4:30 pm – 6:30 pm
Inflationary cosmology’s account for the emergence of the seeds of structure in the universe out of primordial quantum fluctuations is empirically successful as far as the so called scalar modes is concerned, but not so regarding the tensor modes. On the other hand, the usual account has some serious conceptual problems, connected to the quantum macro-objectification question. In the search for an approach to resolve the latter, we find substantially modified predictions (with respect to[...]
