PoPRocks (formerly known as ‘WoPoP’) is an ongoing series in the NYC area for early career researchers – typically grad students and postdocs – working on philosophy of psychology/mind/perception/cognitive science/neuroscience/… . We usually meet roughly once every 2 weeks to informally discuss a draft paper by one of our members, but Spring 2018 we will be meeting less frequently. Typically presenters send a copy of their paper around 1 week in advance, so do join[...]

Truth in Politics – Louise Antony (UMass Amherst)

Truth in Politics – Louise Antony (UMass Amherst)
@ Brooklyn Public Library, Dweck Center
Mar 15 @ 7:30 pm
“Is Truth Dead?” asked Time Magazine last year. Since people clearly care about the truth, at least in mundane matters, truth is alive. If an airline agent tells you the flight to Dallas is leaving from Gate B16, you expect the flight to Dallas to be leaving from Gate B16, and complain sorely if it’s not. But if the truth does still matter, why do we elect people who don’t seem to care what the[...]

Buddhist Theories of Truth, Truth-Telling, and Lies – Kin Cheung (Moravian College)

Buddhist Theories of Truth, Truth-Telling, and Lies – Kin Cheung (Moravian College)
@ Columbia Religion Dept. rm 101
Mar 30 @ 6:30 pm – 8:30 pm
Contrary to Damien Keown (2001), who worries that metaphysical and epistemological inquiry may distract from ethical investigation, Bronwyn Finnigan and Koji Tanaka (2008) argue such questions may provide grounding for practical application of a Buddhist ethical path. I follow this line of inquiry into Buddhist theories of truth in order to better understand right speech as conceived in the Early Buddhist Suttas. I focus on what the Abhaya Sutta explicitly instructs and what it leaves out regarding[...]
