Methodology for the Metaphysics of Pregnancy, Suki Finn, Southampton 4:15 pm
Methodology for the Metaphysics of Pregnancy, Suki Finn, Southampton @ CUNY Grad Center, 6494
Dec 3 @ 4:15 pm – 6:15 pm
One of the central questions in the metaphysics of pregnancy is this: Is the foetus a part of the mother? In this paper I seek not to answer this question, but rather to raise methodological concerns regarding how to approach answering it. Given the parthood relationship in question, should we be looking to mereology? Or given the biological entities in question, should we be looking to the philosophy of science, or even to biology itself?[...]

Human Cognition and the AI Revolution 7:00 pm
Human Cognition and the AI Revolution @ The New York Academy of Sciences
Dec 6 @ 7:00 pm – 8:30 pm
Einstein once remarked, “Any fool can know. The point is to understand.” Indeed, discovering the true nature of reality may ultimately hinge on grasping the nature and essence of human understanding. What are the fundamental elements or building blocks of human understanding? And how will superintelligent machines challenge our ideas about cognition, reality, and the limits of human understanding? The 21st century has seen rapid advancements in the realm of artificial intelligence, or AI, which[...]

Actual Causality: A Survey, Joseph Halpern (Cornell) 4:10 pm
Actual Causality: A Survey, Joseph Halpern (Cornell) @ Faculty House, Columbia U
Dec 7 @ 4:10 pm
What does it mean that an event C “actually caused” event E? The problem of defining actual causation goes beyond mere philosophical speculation.  For example, in many legal arguments, it is precisely what needs to be established in order to determine responsibility.   (What exactly was the actual cause of the car accident or the medical problem?) The philosophy literature has been struggling with the problem of defining causality since the days of Hume, in the 1700s. Many of the definitions have been couched[...]

Semantic Relationism and the Relational View of Proposition, Byeong-uk Yi (Toronto) 4:15 pm
Semantic Relationism and the Relational View of Proposition, Byeong-uk Yi (Toronto) @ CUNY Grad Center, 6494
Dec 10 @ 4:15 pm – 6:15 pm
In Semantic Relationism, Kit Fine proposes semantic relationism, the view that semantic relationship among linguistic expressions is not reducible to their intrinsic semantic features, and combines this view with referentialism, the view that intrinsic semantic features of linguistic expressions are exhausted by their referents.  In this talk, I will point out some difficulties with his account and present a way to overcome them by taking a thorough version of semantic relationism. The Logic and Metaphysics[...]

Rethinking Pregnancy: Two Philosophical Perspectives with Suki Finn and Jennifer Scuro @ Martin E. Segal Theater

Pregnancy is something that affects all of us: Many of us are, have been, or will be, pregnant; and each and every one of us is the result of a pregnancy. But there remain deep and important questions about pregnancy that are yet to be answered. What is it to be pregnant?  How can we understand the complex relationship between the fetus and the mother?  What are the myths and assumptions that surround the phenomenon[...]
