Rodrigo Nunes on “One or Two Melancholias? 1917, 1968 and the Question of Organisation”
@ Wolff Conference Room, D1103
Sep 13 @ 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm
This presentation weaves together two themes that have been recurrent in philosophical and political debates of recent years. The first is a revival of interest in Walter Benjamin’s concept of “leftwing melancholy” and the identification of melancholia as an intrinsic element of the left’s “structure of feeling” or desire; the second is the call for a return to the question of political organisation. By contrasting different accounts of left melancholia, I suggest that we might[...]

Sep 14 @ 5:30 pm – 7:30 pm
There is a clear need for a worldview that includes science and contemplation, arguably the two greatest achievements of humanity in studying the nature of reality. In my talk I will focus on the possibilities for future integration of aspects of science and contemplation, and perhaps even some far-future form of unification. For these developments to proceed, two things must happen. From the science side, the role of the subject needs to be analyzed in[...]

Applying Causal Modeling to Philosophical Issues – Sander Beckers (Utrecht)

Applying Causal Modeling to Philosophical Issues – Sander Beckers (Utrecht)
@ CUNY Grad Center, 7395
Sep 17 @ 4:15 pm – 6:15 pm
Abstract: Causal modeling was developed within Artificial Intelligence over the last few decades in order to formally capture causal information, which is notably absent from statistics. Aside from the undeniable impact this has had on Artificial Intelligence, where talk of causal networks has become commonplace, the resulting formalisms were also eagerly picked up by philosophers working on causation. In particular, causal modeling has been used rather successfully in constructing formal definitions of actual causation, aka[...]

Debate: Do Split Brain Patients Have Two Minds?

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?

Serene J. Khader on “Towards a Decolonial Feminist Universalism”
@ Wolff Conference Room, D1103
Sep 20 @ 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm
I argue we can make progress in three contemporary debates about transnational feminisms by a) clarifying the normative commitments central to feminism and b) rethinking the role of normative ideals in transnational political practices. These debates concern the purported tension between taking seriously critiques of Western imperialism and retaining feminism’s status as a normative doctrine. Understanding feminism as opposition to sexist oppression unthethers feminism from commitments to controversial forms of individualism and antitraditionalism. Understanding transnational[...]

The Quantified Argument Calculus, with Application to the Barcan Formulas and Necessary Existence (Hanoch Ben-Yami)

The Quantified Argument Calculus, with Application to the Barcan Formulas and Necessary Existence (Hanoch Ben-Yami)
@ CUNY Grad Center, 6494
Sep 24 @ 4:15 pm – 6:15 pm
I present a logic system I recently developed (RSL 2014), the Quantified Argument Calculus or Quarc. Quarc is closer in syntax and logical properties to Natural Language than is the Predicate Calculus, on any of its versions, and it is no less powerful than the first-order Predicate Calculus. This makes analysing the Barcan formulas and necessary existence by its means particularly interesting. As we shall see, the analogues in Quarc of the Barcan formulas and[...]

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[...]

Many cognitive processes rely on the preservation of contents across mental transitions or processes. Inference, for example, is a certain sort of content preserving mental transition from premises to conclusions. Content preservation is also important in communicating the contents of perception for further processing and for the influence of desires and belief on action. But what is content preservation? …

Baccelli: The Problem of State-Dependent Utility
@ Faculty House, Columbia U
Sep 28 @ 4:10 pm – 6:10 pm
State-dependent utility is a problem for decision theory under uncertainty. It questions the very possibility that beliefs be revealed by choice data. According to the current literature, all models of beliefs are equally exposed to the problem. Moreover, the problem is solvable only when the decision-maker can influence the resolution of uncertainty. This paper shows that these two views must be abandoned. The various models of beliefs are unequally exposed to the problem of state-dependent[...]
